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 approach-the 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.
