Synopsis

Strengthen mathematical skills and gain practice using those skills in preparation for success in machine trades or manufacturing with Peterson/Smith's MATHEMATICS FOR MACHINE TECHNOLOGY, 8E. This comprehensive book connects math concepts to relevant machine applications, using industry-specific examples, realistic illustrations and actual machine functions. Step-by-step problems and examples progress from general math to more complex trigonometry and solid geometry while demonstrating how math applies to machine trades and manufacturing fields. The authors highlight calculator operations when appropriate. New coverage in this edition emphasizes spreadsheets and introductory G- and M- codes for CNC programming. Master the practical, vocational and technical applications of math concepts necessary to excel in today's machine, tool-and-die and tool design industries with this proven book.

About this title

Review:

The Geometry, Trig and all diagrams are fantastic.

The text is well-designed in terms of content, sequence, and detail.

Mathematics for Machine Technology has well rounded topics for building a good machinist, good applications and exercises, and plenty of material.

About the Author:

Robert D. Smith was Associate Professor Emeritus of Industrial Technology at Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, Connecticut. In addition to his teaching experience, Mr. Smith worked in the manufacturing industry as a tool designer, quality control engineer, and chief manufacturing engineer. He has also been active in teaching applied mathematics, physics, and industrial materials and processes on the secondary school level and in apprenticeship programs. John C. Peterson is a retired Professor of Mathematics at Chattanooga State Community College, Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he received the Teaching Excellence Award. His professional experience includes teaching at middle school, high school, and university levels, as well as work in industry. In addition to MATHEMATICS FOR MACHINE TECHNOLOGY, 8E, Dr. Peterson has authored or co-authored four other Cengage books: INTRODUCTORY TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS, TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS, TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS WITH CALCULUS, and MATH FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE TRADE. A member of the team that revised the 2015 College Board of Mathematical Sciences cross-sectional survey of undergraduate mathematical science programs, Dr. Peterson has also served as a vice president of The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. He has published more than 90 journal papers and given more than 200 presentations. Dr. Peterson earned his Ph.D. in mathematics education from The Ohio State University.
