Review
"I was pleased with the exercises overall. They correspond well to the sections covered, and the balance is good."



"Good graphics, good examples, good practical applications of geometry and trigonometry."

"I have always been impressed with [Ewen and Nelson’s] writing style. It parallels very much how I teach the course, trying to be as short and as straight to the point as possible." "My instruction time is filled with problem solving, and [the authors’] text is an extremely good fit to that teaching style." "The three greatest strengths of this text are its simple, clear plan of presenting a concept, detailing several examples, and offering many additional exercises; its many application problems from a variety of technical fields; and its chapter design with reviews, tests, and the laminated sheet of conversions."
Ewen/Nelson's ELEMENTARY TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS, Ninth Edition is a well-respected, extremely user-friendly text. It emphasizes essential math skills and consistently relates math to practical applications so students can see how learning math will help them on the job. The applications are drawn from a wide array of technical fields, making the text useful to a broad range of students. Annotated examples and visual images are used to engage students and assist with problem solving. Comprehensive and well-organized, this text engages students, providing them with a solid foundation in mathematical principles that will help them to succeed in the current course and beyond.
