Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus

by Allyn J. Washington, Richard Evans

Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus focuses on the essentials you need, with no added theory or side trips. It supports understanding of mathematical techniques and how they apply on the job in fields like computer design, electronics, solar energy, lasers, and the environment. A vast number of applications create a solid foundation in algebra and trigonometry and demonstrate their applicability in various technical fields. Plenty of solved examples, problem sets, and practice exercises help reinforce skills. End-of-chapter review and test prep help you succeed on quizzes and exams. Additionally, the authors point out common errors, frequently misunderstood topics, and essential material.

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.

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.
