For any “Prep-math” or “quick study” course in basic mathematics. Also good as a supplement for any course where students may need a “math refresher.”
After 11 textbooks, 18 editions, and 15 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook's new third edition of Introductory Mathematics is a complete “tech math” text for technology students. Beginning with fractions and decimal numbers, and proceeding on to establish a solid foundation in exponents, the metric system, algebra, trigonometry, logarithms and graphs, this easy-to-understand volume will give students the math skills needed for career training. Since mathematics is often the language of technology, Cook's Introductory Mathematics will prove to become not only a fundamental learning tool, but a valuable lifetime resource.

From the Back Cover
After 11 textbooks, 18 editions, and 15 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook's new third edition of Introductory Mathematics is a complete 'prep math' text for technology students. Beginning with fractions and decimal numbers, and proceeding on to establish a solid foundation in exponents, the metric system, algebra, trigonometry, logarithms, and graphs, this easy-to-understand text will give students the math skills needed for career training.
The reader quickly will be put at ease by the student-friendly writing style and the author's ability to simplify traditionally difficult subjects. Each chapter opens with a humanistic vignette describing the history of a mathematical discovery. Then, basic theory is presented in intuitive form, augmented by numerous worked-out examples. Arrowed annotations are included throughout to clearly describe steps and procedures, and mathematics is applied to numerous practical applications. In addition, plenty of sample questions and problems are provided throughout the book. The text provides calculator usage and sequence examples to ease the transition to calculator use. Regular practice using the examples, multiple-choice review questions, and practice problems will establish comfortable mastery of the material.
