Unique in both coverage and approach, this text is based on the authors' expertise in both the construction process and the related mathematics and is focused on the needs of today's visual learners. Chs. 1-10 cover the fundamental mathematics necessary to a broad range of both life and building construction skills; Chs. 11-26 cover mathematical matters of direct concern to the builder, in the same logical and sequential process as required in the construction process itself. The text is generously illustrated with real-world problems based on the authors'actual experience in the building field. Problems include step-by-step summary explanations of their solutions with the necessary steps highlighted and enclosed for easy identification.
