This tried-and-true text from Allyn Washington preserves the author's highly regarded approach to technical math, while enhancing the integration of technology. Appropriate for a two- to three- semester course, BASIC TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS WITH CALCULUS shows how algebra, trigonometry, and basic calculus are used on the job. It addresses a vast number of technical and pre-engineering fields, including computer design, electronics, solar energy, lasers fiber optics, and the environment. Known for its exceptional problem sets and applied material, the book offers practice exercises, writing exercises, word problems, and practice tests. This edition features more technical applications, over 2300 new exercises, and additional graphing calculator screens.

The late Allyn J. Washington received his Master's Degree from Brown University. He was Professor of Mathematics at Dutchess Community College (Poughkeepsie, New York) where he served as the Mathematics Department Head as well as Dean of the College. Allyn was a founding member of the New York State Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges and a founding member of the American Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree by State University of New York. He is listed in Who's Who in America. The Allyn J. Washington Center for Science and Art Building is named in his honor at Dutchess Community College. Allyn authored several textbooks in Technical Mathematics, including Basic Technical Mathematics.
