Document Type: Textbook (Technical).

Purpose: Training and Education.

Authority: Author Expertise.

Scope (from Preface): "The series does not attempt to cover the field of applied mathematics in secondary education. Such applications as can be easily demonstrated with the help of simple mathematical laboratory apparatus are used throughout the course. The object is to lead the student to see the connection between the mathematics class, and the shops, laboratories, and drawing rooms; also to form the mathematical skills necessary for the more complex applications as they arise in the various departments.

The outline has been in use for several years at Cass Technical High School, in mimeographed and printed form."
