Technical Shop Mathematics, 3rd Edition

Completely revised and updated, the intent of this new edition is to provide students with the geometric, trigonometric, and statistical concepts needed to solve problems commonly encountered in technical and trade occupations. Technical Shop Mathematics begins with arithmetic followed by basic mathematical manipulations, geometry, elementary trigonometry, and graphing; and ends with fundamentals of Statistical Process Control for those interested in manufacturing and quality control. Practical explanations, problem solving techniques, examples, and exercises are provided throughout; and emphasis is placed on applications—making it an ideal resource for standard lecture courses or guided self-paced study.
