About the Book

This math workbook is designed from a printing perspective and aimed at adults in graphic arts. It stresses the importance of increasing students' confidence by teaching basic math skills and by applying them to the equipment, techniques and procedures involved in printing. The text uses a practical, problem-solving approach. Theories are supported by real-life examples and concrete situations such as estimating and production planning.
