Practical Problems in Mathematics for Drafting and CAD

The text features problems and values that reflect current and emerging drafting and CAD technologies.

The concepts presented are geared toward enhancing student mathematical skills in virtually any drafting field.

Illustrative problems presented in the book emphasize realistic applications.

CAD terminology and operations are integrated for an approach that is current with today's technology and practices.

Coverage is designed to increase familiarity with the concepts and language needed to accurately prepare working drawings.

The content has been updated and reorganized into 9 sections and 42 units, including a new section on Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and new units on 3D- and coordinate geometry.

Problem sets have been reorganized into "Skill Problems," "Practical Problems," and "CAD Problems" in order to make it easier for instructors to assign specific types of problems and for students to study specific content areas.

This edition now includes an increased number of stepped out examples, with corresponding explanations and solutions. In addition, problems and answers have been revised in order to give students practice with realistic problem sets.

Figures and drawings have been improved in order to appeal to visual learners.
