McGraw-Hill Professional, 2006. - 336 pages.
This book is written for people who want to refresh or improve their mathematical skills, especially in fields applicable to science and engineering. The course can be used for self-teaching without the aid of an instructor, but it can also be useful as a supplement in a classroom, tutored, or home-schooling environment.
If you are changing careers, and your new work will involve more mathematics than you’ve been used to doing, this book should help you prepare. If you want to get the most out of this book, you should have completed high-school algebra, high-school geometry and trigonometry, and a first-year course in calculus. You should be familiar with the concepts of rational, real, and complex numbers, linear equations, quadratic equations, the trigonometric functions, coordinate systems, and the differentiation and integration of functions in a single variable.
This book contains plenty of examples and practice problems. Each chapter ends with a multiple-choice quiz. There is a multiple-choice final exam at the end of the course. The questions in the quizzes and the exam are similar in format to the questions in standardized tests.
