the Basis of the Basics

I found this gem in a used book store and it has had a place on my bookshelf since. It is highly useful for describing mathmatic concepts that I use for computer programming. It does an excellent job of breaking things down to a base rule or formula which can then be applied. I recomend this book highly.

Excellent summary math text

I used this math text in 1977 at an electronics trade school. Never thought I would need it again, but for some reason I held onto it. Now as a parent, I find it a great text to quickly review mathematical concepts for helping with homework. The book is somewhat dated now, very little coverage of calculators. However, the math concepts are rock solid.
