This text presents the mathematics required for the intelligent pursuit of elementary engineering courses and serves as a preparation for a course in calculus. It contains those topics from algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry which are needed to meet this dual objective. The book is intended to be used with students who have had at least two years of high school mathematics. However, it is completely self-contained except that it relies upon the usual simple facts from arithmetic and geometry.
