Math Refresher for Scientists and Engineers, Third Edition is intended for people with technical backgrounds who would like to refresh their math skills. This book is unique because it contains in one source an overview of the essential elements of a wide range of mathematical topics that are normally found in separate texts.
"What does this have to do with real life?" is a question that plagues mathematics teachers across America, as students are confronted with abstract topics in their high school mathematics courses. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics emphasizes the importance of making real world connections in teaching mathematics so that learning new content is meaningful to students. And in meeting NCTM national standards, this invaluable book provides many insights into the many connections between mathematics applications and the real world. Nearly 50 math concepts are presented with multiple examples of how each is applied in everyday environments, such as the workplace, nature, science, sports, and even parking.
SAT Math Essentials contains hundreds of practice exercises to help students prepare for the more difficult math section in the new SAT. Featuring mostly multiple-choice questions, the book contains one 20-minute and two 25-minute sections that cover such concepts as arithmetic, geometry, algebra and functions, statistics and data analysis, and probability. Included is access to free online math tests that mirror those on the SAT, with exercises instantly scored and diagnosed, plus pointers to further study.
Here is a complete self-teaching guide for anyone needing knowledge of math as it applies to engineering and technical fields. Now anyone can grasp the fundamentals of technical math -- without formal training, unlimited time, or a genius IQ. In Technical Math Demystified, bestselling science writer Stan Gibilisco provides an effective, illuminating, and entertaining way to learn this complex subject.
For a subject that is a challenge at all levels of education.
