Signed number drills exercises assist students in learning addition, subtraction and multiplication on signed numbers.

Cumulative reviews at the end of every even-numbered chapter enable students to review and prepare for comprehensive exams.

Many applications from a wide variety of technical areas are noted by marginal icons, including industrial and construction trades, electronics, agriculture/horticulture, allied health, CAD/drafting, HVAC, welding, auto/diesel service, aviation, natural resources, culinary arts and business/personal finance engage students and illustrate the relevance of what they're learning. Marginal icons call attention to the applications, making it easier for instructors and students to find and explore them.

Each chapter opener presents basic information about a technical career underscoring the connection of the math to real life.
