This new edition preserves the author's highly regarded approach to technical math, while enhancing the integration of technology in the text. A fully developed MyMathLab program that may be packaged with every text, providing students with unlimited practice, guided instruction, and video worked examples for every section of the textbook. New exercises add variety of learning opportunities for students,providing students with a greater variety of exercises. There is coverage of the advanced graphing calculator (T189), primarily for use in the calculus chapters.
Used over two semesters, Basic Tech Math and Calculus for Engineering courses. It's a big heavy book to carry around for two semesters. Challenging homework and learned a lot. Learned mostly from the lectures in class, as didn't read the text too much. Don't thing this is the best text to learn from and found at least one answer in the back of book that was wrong. But I aced both classes and learned and that is all the matters to me.
Eye read 2006 (8th Ed. 2005 SI Version) 10/10. I didn’t really learn much maths in high school (couldn’t find what i didnt know). I wish they gave this book to me in yr7. It goes through from the basics right on up through calculus and arrays (undergrad uni lvl), so you can find the areas you are missing to make sense of school maths and in my case technical mathematics for engineering design. Just do all the exercises, that was what i did and it helped immensly.
