Mathematics for Machine Technology: With Biological Applications 7th edition

In order to overcome the often mechanical "plug in" approach found in many trade-related mathematical textbooks, Peterson and Smith stress understanding the mathematical concepts in all matters ranging from general arithmetic processes to oblique trigonometry, compound angles, and numerical control. They developed the approach and the material teaching applied machine technology mathematics classes for apprentices in machine, tool-and-die, and tool design occupations. Each chapter is the prerequisite for the next, they say. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
Reflecting the latest technology and tools of the trade, MATHEMATICS FOR MACHINE TECHNOLOGY, 7e provides the mathematical skills and practice that students and apprentices will use on the job in the machine trades and manufacturing fields. This comprehensive book combines math concepts with relevant machine applications through industry-specific examples, realistic illustrations, and actual machine applications. Problems and examples progress from simpler to more complex, from general math to trigonometry and solid geometry, and relate directly to how the math is used in machine trades and manufacturing fields. The new Seventh Edition also includes all-new units on electronic calipers, height gages, and electronic micrometers, as well as thorough coverage of measuring in both metric and customary systems.
