ALBERT KLAF Calculus Refresher for Technical Men Trigonometry Refresher for Technical Men Arithmetic Refresher A. Albert Klaf Copyright © 1964 by Mollie G. Klaf. All rights reserved. Arithmetic Refresher was first published by Dover Publications, Inc., in 1964 under the title Arithmetic Refresher for Practical Men. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 64-18856 International Standard Book Number 9780486141930 Manufactured in the United States by Courier Corporation 21241622 www.doverpublications.com FOREWORD My father wrote this Arithmetic Refresher for Practical Men for the mass audience of professionals and laymen who are frequently faced with numerical problems. The book includes the knowledge and practical experience gathered during a lifetime of searching curiosity. He completed the manuscript a year before his passing. It is the testament of a career dedicated to public service and mathematical enlightenment. I wish to express my deep appreciation to my father’s colleague, Mr. Victor Feigelman, B.C.E., M.C.E., for solving the sample problems and checking the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Mr. Hayward Cirker, President of Dover Publications, Inc., who was my father’s valued friend as well as his publisher. This book was to have been one of a series that began with his Calculus Refresher for Technical Men, and progressed to his Trigonometry Refresher for Technical Men. The succeeding volumes will, of course, remain unwritten. But the best has been said. Now it must be used by those who seek to experience the joy of mathematics my father so deeply felt. FRANKLIN S.
