Mathematics for the Practical Man: Explaining Simply and Quickly All the Elements of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Logarithms, Coördinate Geometry, Calculus

by George Howe

Excerpt from Mathematics for the Practical Man: Explaining Simply and Quickly All the Elements of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Logarithms, Coo rdinate Geometry, Calculus
IN preparing this work the author has been prompted by many reasons, the most important of which are: The dearth of short but complete books covering the fundamentals of mathematics.
The tendency of those elementary books which begin at the beginning to treat the subject in a popular rather than in a scientific manner.

Good refresher though this was written before calculators so skip the parts where they expect you to look up log tables.

Disappointing. But my expectations were unrealistic.
I wanted a clear and simple review of the math I studied in high school, most of which I've forgotten.
