Applied Mathematics for Technology and Careers

Appropriate as a stand-alone text or integrated supplement for Applied Mathematics, Technical Mathematics, Mathematics for Technology or Mathematics for Careers courses. The book is intended for students preparing for the school-to-work transition. Requiring no prerequisites, this book starts with basic arithmetic concepts, then gradually develops the theories and techniques of algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Immediately after building a solid foundation in each area, readers are given numerous opportunities to solve real-life, arithmetic- related workplace problems. The authors take an innovative approachthe Institute for Corporate Competitiveness' (ICC) TPRA Method (Teach- Practice-Review-Apply) to the teaching of applied mathematics. This approach was developed in response to the need for a better, more effective way of teaching applied mathematics and has been used by the ICC with excellent results for several years.Goetsch, David L. is the author of 'Applied Mathematics for Technology and Careers', published 1995 under ISBN 9780133935134 and ISBN 0133935132.
