Description
For introductory-level courses in Technical Mathematics.
This tried-and-true text from Allyn Washington, the pioneer of the basic technical mathematics course, now includes 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. This new edition preserves the author's highly regarded approach to technical math, while enhancing the integration of technology in the text. The book is intended for a two- or three-semester course and is taught primarily to students who plan to pursue technical fields. The primary strength of the text is the heavy integration of technical applications, which aids the student in pursuit of a technical career by showing the importance of a strong foundation in algebraic and trigonometric math.
