Math for Carpentry and Construction 2e, Online Textbook
Math for Carpentry and Construction is designed specifically for carpentry and construction students, allowing them to learn and apply basic math skills in a very relatable context. Each unit begins with an explanation of the basic concept behind each math operation, followed by clear instructions for performing the operation, and a variety of carpentry- and construction-related practice problems to reinforce the concept. This format provides a practical approach to learn important math skills and troubleshooting skills that will be used in carpentry shops and construction sites. A new Appendix, Construction Diagrams and Terms, defines and illustrates key trade terms and components that students may have not yet been exposed to in their carpentry/construction program. This new edition now includes PowerPoint presentations in the Online Instructor Resources to help educators integrate these important math skills into their curriculum
