Prompting Science and Engineering Students in Practical Trigonometry

About the Book

This book contains a new and much easier system to use for the calculation of trigonometry problems occurring in the school, office, and workplace. Included are several trigonometry aids, which greatly simplify the calculation of triangles. There is also an explanation in minute detail of the production methods used in the engineering industry, including all the trigonometry calculations required prior to the precision manufacture of sheet metal, screw-cut, milled, drilled, and turned components. The fifty explanatory drawings explain how one can discover by calculation all the drawing’s unknown dimensions required for the production of precision components.

About the Author

George Reed was born in Bedfordshire UK in 1933. He has worked in the engineering industry as a design engineer/toolmaker/draftsman for 55 years. He is married with two children, and three grandchildren, and still lives in the area. As a result of his work experience, he has developed for this book a new and much easier system for use in the calculation of trigonometry problems that occur in the training schools, in the research and development, design, and inspection departments of the UK’s aircraft and engineering companies.
