About the Book

TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS provides a thorough review of pre calculus topics ranging from algebra and geometry to trigonometry and analytic geometry, with a strong emphasis on their applications in specific occupations. The book's breadth of coverage and practical focus will prepare you well for a technical, engineering technology, or scientific career, while integrated calculator and spreadsheet examples teach you to solve problems the way professionals do on the job. Written in an easy-to-understand manner, this comprehensive book complements core content with numerous application-oriented exercises and examples to help you apply your knowledge of mathematics and technology to situations you may encounter as a working professional. The Fourth Edition of this proven book includes abundant new material, including a new chapter on computer number systems, integrated coverage of spreadsheets, and new and updated examples and exercises throughout the book.
