Math to Build on: A Book for Those Who Build
The fact is, you cannot build a house, work on plumbing or electrical systems, repair or remodel, or do anything of much use for your home without a rudimentary understanding of basic mathematics.
The Hamilton"s have approached math not as a theoretical or abstract academic exercise, but have instead created a system of understanding and remembering mathematical concepts with highly practical applications for the builder, both professional and amateur do-it-yourselfer.
They have eliminated confusing and intimidating terminology in favor of clear, straightforward language, guiding the reader through easy-to-understand steps and exercises that virtually guarantee retention of the information in usable form for practical applications.
This book should be a standard textbook or required reading for anyone in the building trades - contractors, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and all the rest - and will likely turn into a classic text for any vocational school or class.
