Contents:
Common fractions and decimal fractions -- Ratio, proportion, and percentage -- Linear measurement: customary (English) and metric -- Fundamentals of algebra -- Fundamentals of plane geometry -- Geometric figures: areas and volumes -- Trigonometry -- Compound angles -- Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
Summary: "Mathematics for Machine Technology is written to overcome the often mechanical "plug in" approach found in many trade-related mathematics textbooks. An understanding of mathematical concepts is stressed in all topics ranging from general arithmetic processes to oblique trigonometry, compound angles, and numerical control. Both content and method are those that have been used by the authors in teaching applied machine technology mathematics classes for apprentices in machine, tool-and die, and tool design occupations. Each unit is developed as a learning experience based on preceding units-making prerequisites unnecessary. Presentation of basic concepts is accompanied by realistic industry-related examples and actual industrial applications. The applications progress from the simple to those with solutions that are relatively complex. Many problems require the student to work with illustrations such as are found in machine technology handbooks and engineering drawings"-- Provided by publisher.
