For undergraduate courses in Technical Mathematics, Technical Mathematics with Calculus, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus.

This student-friendly text balances solid math instruction with real-world examples and applications for various disciplines. It makes learning math easier by its conversational writing style and spiral approach to learning, utilizing boxed step-by-step procedures and functional color and graphics.

NEW - Matrix algebra—Added to Chapter 6.
- Enables instructors to introduce this subject in their courses.

NEW - New Appendices—On units and unit conversion, calculator usage, and computer number systems.
- Provides students with easy reference guides.

NEW - New and revised examples, problems, and graphics.
- Enables students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems discussed in each chapter, making abstract concepts more relevant.

Free Study Wizard CD Tutorial Software—Includes chapter objectives, a glossary of terms, and over 600 practice questions.
- Allows students to practice the material with immediate feedback through interactive quizzes specifically tied to the text.

Easy-to-follow writing style—Conversational in tone, the text provides “verbal nudges” such as Cautions, Notes, and Remember, gives students information similar to those an instructor would use when lecturing.
- Allows students to easily understand and learn material.

Spiral approach—Builds on concepts presented in previous chapters and progresses from simple to complex material.
- Allows students to build on and apply previously mastered concepts, strengthening their understanding of these skills and providing a framework of reference for learning new concepts.

Procedure boxes—Presents a step-by-step method for solving problems.
- Allows students to easily find and use these procedures to problem solve.

Strong pedagogy—Each chapter opens with a technical application and learning objectives. Chapters end with a summary of terms and formulas, review problems, and a chapter test.
- Provides students with a wide variety of learning tools to enhance their understanding of the material.

Balanced coverage—Applications to business and computer science technology are balanced with learning mathematics. Exercises are keyed to their technology (i.e.: E = Electronics; M = Mechanical; B = Business; C = Civil, etc.).
- Motivates students by making abstract concepts more relevant and easier to understand.

Group projects—Presents end-of-chapter activities based on work-related situations, introducing students to written and oral presentations.
- Provides students with an opportunity to collaborate with others in order to generate solutions to problems as well as improve their writing and verbal presentation skills.

Graphing calculator—Shows the output of the screen. It is integrated into every situation where applicable.
- Provides students with a powerful tool to illustrate and solve complex problems.

Matrix algebra—Added to Chapter 6.
- Enables instructors to introduce this subject in their courses.

New Appendices—On units and unit conversion, calculator usage, and computer number systems.
- Provides students with easy reference guides.

New and revised examples, problems, and graphics.
- Enables students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems discussed in each chapter, making abstract concepts more relevant.
