Chenier's Practical Math Dictionary

Lots of good info forgotten over the years. Well worth the money

This book can be a real life saver. It can be used as a general math book, but it really shines in answering questions and problems that crop up with great frequency in the building trades, that schools just don't teach anymore. It's amazing how many people show up on a jobsite, and really don't have the math skills needed to solve problems quickly, and get the job done. It provides real practical solutions, and unlike any other math book I've used, shows HOW to arrive at the correct answer without using a calculator.Excellent publication. I have one in the truck at all times, and anyone that works with me that's coming up in the trades can count on getting one.I would recommend getting this as a reference, and also get the Practical Math Application Guide along with it. There won't be any problem you can't solve!

I'm a UA Pipefitter out of Cambrige, Oh. I love the way this book helps out those who want to learn how to read a rule add or subtract fractions. This book shows anyone how to "Craw, walk, run" with math. It touches on some algebra and trigonomitry. Has lay-out of tubing, setting trusses, spiral staircases, pipefitting, many other areas. I'll teach my kids how to do basic-intermediate math when they go to school. This book is a great guide for instruction or instructors! Even has self checking formulas with your math problems.Keeps your skills sharp in math if you've forgoten some things from school. This book is 6 inches by 7.5" small enough to put in tool box.By the set: Dictonary & Guide together.

This book is very helpful to me as a young tradesman. I wish the applications were mixed in here as well, but that's a separate volume. That's the only reason for 4 stars.

It's helpful.

I purchased this book for my son who is going to PSU for a construction management degree. He was very impressed with the logical explanation of the formulas and the diagrammed breakdown of each formula throughout the book, said he wished he had the book during his most recent Trig class.

Good quality, packed with info.

Loved it!
