Introductory Mathematics Summary

Introductory Mathematics by Nigel P. Cook

For any Prep-math or quick study course in basic mathematics. Also good as a supplement for any course where students may need a math refresher.

After 11 textbooks, 18 editions, and 15 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook's new third edition of Introductory Mathematics is a complete tech math text for technology students. Beginning with fractions and decimal numbers, and proceeding on to establish a solid foundation in exponents, the metric system, algebra, trigonometry, logarithms and graphs, this easy-to-understand volume will give students the math skills needed for career training. Since mathematics is often the language of technology, Cook's Introductory Mathematics will prove to become not only a fundamental learning tool, but a valuable lifetime resource.
