Research and Markets: Technical Mathematics, Textbook and Student Solutions Manual (6th Edition)Dec 20, 2011 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/573604/technical_mathemat) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Technical Mathematics, Textbook and Student Solutions Manual, 6th Edition" to their offering. This textbook has been in constant use since 1980, and this edition represents the first major revision of this text since the second edition. It was time to select, make hard choices of material, polish, refine, and fill in where needed. Much has been rewritten to be even cleaner and clearer, new features have been introduced, and some peripheral topics have been removed. The authors continue to provide real-world, technical applications that promote intuitive reader learning. Numerous fully worked examples and boxed and numbered formulas give students the essential practice they need to learn mathematics. Computer projects are given when appropriate, including BASIC, spreadsheets, computer algebra systems, and computer-assisted drafting. The graphing calculator has been fully integrated and calculator screens are given to introduce computations. Everything the technical student may need is included, with the emphasis always on clarity and practical applications. New to this Edition: - This edition contains a new chapter on statistics as well as a new section on straight line graphing; - Many of the exercises have been revised to ensure they are scaffolded in difficulty level from easy to challenging. Hallmark Features: - Clarity of presentation: This is the feature most mentioned by reviewers, and has obvious benefits to students and instructors; - Technical Applications: The technical applications provide motivation for the student, and examples for an instructor who may not have a technical background. Additionally, an Index to Applications aids in finding applications in a particular field, such as electrical technology; - Estimation: Shows a student whether an answer is reasonable or not reasonable. They show common pitfalls for both student and instructor and are flagged and boxed, wherever appropriate; - Formulas used in the text are boxed and numbered, and listed in the Appendix as the Summary of Facts and Formulas; - Writing, Projects, Internet: Every chapter concludes with a section of optional enrichment activities. Author: Paul A. Calter is a Visiting Scholar at Dartmouth College and Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Vermont Technical College. He is a book review editor of the Nexus Network Journal and has interests in both the fields of mathematics and art. He received his B.S. from Cooper Union and his M.S. from Columbia University, both in engineering, and his Masters of Fine Arts Degree from Norwich University. Calter has taught mathematics for over twenty-five years and is the author of ten mathematics textbooks and a mystery novel.
