According to the author:

” I am very proud to say that this is the very first book of its kind. Most mathematics review books are the same as fas as presentation of the solution is concerned. The book will be best appreciated when the user has already acquired the topics being discussed. It follows a review format wherein the summary of the topic is presented first, followed by a test and then lastly, by a solution of the test given. This book will be very helpful both for the reviewer and the reviewee since most of the problem were taken from previous Engineering Board Examination.”

Calculator Mathematics delivers step-by-step guide for CASIO fx-991ES. It tabulates all the steps necessary to complete a certain computation using a calculator even what buttons to press. At the end of every chapter, test is also provided.
