About this product

Product Information

The author describes an approximation to an object as a representation of that object which differs from the (presumed) true characteristic by a sufficiently small amount to allow the use of the representation as a substitute for the actual object. This definition is the basis of this reference book for professionals, who use numbers and calculations in their work, yet do not have a high level of mathematics. The text explains how to use rough estimations in order to reduce the labour of calculation or to make possible estimates which might otherwise be impracticable.
