Synopsis

This edition delivers theory with a few clear statements as each subject is developed through practical examples organized in a systematic format. It aims to provide a more comprehensive maths review and includes algebra and geometry to accommodate students with varied backgrounds in math. Applied problems at the end of each chapter have been increased by 15 percent and are now grouped and referenced to the corresponding sections within each chapter to provide students with easier reference. An expanded section on Free-body diagrams emphasizes what needs to be done and why it needs to be done in order to assist students in developing and mastering this important problem solving tool.

About this title
