This site includes the contents of a book that provides information about the math needed by people who do building work -- such as designing, building, fabricating. A variety of topics is included, ranging from basic arithmetic to measurement to geometry, and even some trigonometry in algebra. The discussion of number may prove a particularly good review for high school students, covering some practical and quick ways of dealing with decimals, fractions, squares, and square roots. Many sections include practice problems and calculator applications, as well as applications to building. The students who wonder, “Why do I need to know this stuff?” might find this Web site to be just the evidence they need!
