From The Preface

In the years since the first edition, I have continued to consider ways in which the texts could be improved. In this regard, I researched several topics including how people learn (learning styles, etc.), how the brain functions in storing and retrieving information, and the fundamentals of memory systems. Many of the changes incorporated in this second edition are a result of this research. The changes were field-tested during a three-year period in which I taught a water and wastewater mathematics course for Palomar Community College, San Marcos, California.

All the fundamental math concepts and skills needed for daily water/wastewater treatment plant operations.

This first volume, "Basic Math Concepts for Water and Wastewater Plant Operators," provides a thorough review of the necessary mathematical concepts and skills encountered in the daily operations of a water and wastewater treatment plant. Each chapter begins with a skills check to allow the student to determine whether or not a review of the topic is needed. Practice problems illustrate the concepts presented in each section.

Book Reviews

The extensive use of graphics to help illustrate mathematical concepts should be very helpful to many operators in learning how to perform calculations. - Ken Kerri, Office of Water Programs,California State University, Sacramento

Customer Reviews

This is a really great book. The author's approach to the details and examples are super. I will recommend this book for those that needs brushing up on their math skills..

I am not good in math. Any kind of math. But this book has helped me get a understanding behind the concepts I willneed to know and help with the basic problems that are going to come up while managing your plant.
