Applied mathematics for machine trades and manufacturing

Designed around vocational machine-shop applications, this eighth edition moves from foundational mathematics through trigonometry and solid geometry. Its examples, illustrations, and problem sets connect calculations to machine functions and industry contexts, with exercises progressing from simpler work to more complex applications. Alongside core math, the book addresses calculator use, introduces spreadsheet work, and includes an entry point to G- and M-codes used in CNC programming. The emphasis stays on using mathematical concepts in machine, tool-and-die, and tool-design settings rather than treating them as abstract topics alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and apprentices preparing for machine-trades or manufacturing coursework
  • Learners who want elementary algebra, trigonometry, and geometry tied to technical applications
  • Readers seeking introductory math context for CNC-related codes and machine functions
