Applied Technical Mathematics for Horticulture and Diesel Mechanics is intended for a one-semester class with students who enter the semester with a good working-level of math skills. High school algebra and geometry are the only prerequisites,
The technical math course at Kishwaukee College is somewhat unique in that the class combines students in horticulture with those from diesel mechanics. The course materials apply to both areas, as much as possible. The intent is to provide a solid foundation for solving job-related math problems for all students ibn the class. For this reason, the focus is on "how to solve" more than "why does this work?"
Feedback, comments, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
