About this book :-
"Practical Mathematics: Being the Essentials of Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra and Trigonometry" by "Claude Palmer" is a comprehensive guide designed to provide a solid foundation in "arithmetic", "geometry", "algebra", and "trigonometry". The book aims to make mathematics accessible and practical for students, self-learners, engineers, and tradespeople. It explains mathematical concepts clearly, with step-by-step examples and exercises that allow readers to understand both theory and real-world applications. The "arithmetic" section covers fundamental operations, fractions, percentages, proportions, and powers. The "algebra" portion introduces signed numbers, equations, factoring, quadratic equations, exponents, and logarithms. Palmer emphasizes practical applications, helping readers see how algebra can be used to solve everyday problems and technical tasks. The "geometry" section explores plane and solid figures, circles, triangles, and polygons, enhancing spatial reasoning and measurement skills. Finally, the "trigonometry" part explains right-angle and oblique triangles, trigonometric functions, and applications in construction and engineering. With tables, formula summaries, and worked examples, the book provides a practical, all-in-one reference. Its systematic approach ensures readers can build confidence in "mathematics", develop problem-solving skills, and apply concepts in real-world scenarios, making it a valuable resource for learning and reference.
