For courses in introductory technical math This pack contains 1 copy of Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus, SI Version, and 1 printed access card to MyLab Math with eText.
Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus, SI Version is intended primarily for students in technical and pre-engineering technology programs or other programs for which coverage of basic mathematics is required.
This tried-and-true text from Allyn Washington builds on the author's highly regarded approach to technical math, while enhancing its pedagogy with full-colour figures and boxes that warn students of Common Errors. Appropriate for a two- to three-semester course, Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus shows how algebra, trigonometry and basic calculus are used on the job. It covers applications in a vast number of technical and pre-engineering fields, including statics, electronics, solar energy, laser fiber optics, acoustics, fluid mechanics, and the environment. Known for its exceptional problem sets and applied material, the book offers practice exercises, writing exercises, word problems and practice tests.
Pearson MyLab is the world's leading online self-study, homework, tutorial and assessment product designed with a single purpose in mind: to improve the results of all higher education students, one student at a time.
To access the MyLab you need a Course ID from your instructor.
