About this title

Review:

"I have always been impressed with [Ewen and Nelson's] writing style. It parallels very much how I teach the course, trying to be as short and as straight to the point as possible." "My instruction time is filled with problem solving, and [the authors'] text is an extremely good fit to that teaching style." "The three greatest strengths of this text are its simple, clear plan of presenting a concept, detailing several examples, and offering many additional exercises; its many application problems from a variety of technical fields; and its chapter design with reviews, tests, and the laminated sheet of conversions."
