Now you can combine a highly effective, practical approach to mathematics with the latest procedures, technologies, and practices in today's welding industry with PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN MATHEMATICS FOR WELDERS, 6E. Readers clearly see how welders rely on mathematical skills to solve both everyday and more challenging problems, from measuring materials for cutting and assembling to effectively and economically ordering materials. Highly readable explanations, numerous real-world examples, and practice problems emphasize math skills most important in welding today, from basic procedures to more advanced math formulas and technologies. Readers leave equipped with the strong math tools they need for success in today's welding careers.

As a math, highway construction, and OSHA safety instructor and coordinator for the Pre-Apprenticeship Training in Highway Construction program at the Maricopa County Community College District, Phoenix, Arizona, author Robert Chasan combines practical experience with exceptional teaching abilities to bring you and your students this engaging text. Under his tutelage, Professor Chasan's program, funded by the Federal Highway Administration, has become a national leader. Mr. Chasan also coordinates his school's SCANS Lab (Secretary of Labor's Commission on Acquiring Necessary Skills), teaching math, blueprint reading, and SCANS skills to the welding and machine trades students and the school's other trades programs. In addition, Professor Chasan has led the school Safety Team and taught OSHA-10, OSHA-30, and SSTA-16.
Professor Chasan specializes in areas of math instruction, ranging from developmental through trigonometry, including fractions and decimals, measuring instruments, tolerances, percentages, and metrics. He also focuses on geometry including area, volume and mass, angular development and measurement, and bends and stretch outs. A certified Arizona Community College instructor, Professor Chasan is well recognized for the quality of his vocational instruction.
