ISBN 978.971.011-427-6 Published By Central Book Supply Ine. 927 Quezon Ave. Quezon Ci Philippines Preface Three years ago, | became curious with my newly bought Calculator Fx 991 ES. There were about 400 keys of the Calculator but | knew how to use a few keys only. | just came from my teaching stint abroad (College Preparatory Center KSA) and | Was still looking for a job. At that time, 1 had already a theory that if all the 400 keys could be used, it will be of great advantage to students and reviewees preparing for the licensure examinations. Fortunately for me, my friend and colleague, Dr. Amelia Marquez, requested me to teach Mathematics in her newly established MEGAREVIEW CENTER. This was where CACULATOR TECHNIQUES was born. | experimented with the CALCULATOR which also became my passion. | integrated calculator techniques with my review classes in Mathematics, Mechanics and Engineering Economy and it produced favorable response from the students. And the rest is History. Today, CALCULATOR TECHNIQUES has ‘evolved from a simple hobby of miformal course that is now being offered in MEGAREVIEW and is also being copied by other review centers, But the fact will always remain that there is only one creator of CALCULATOR TECHNIQUES, and the others will just be clones of the original. | wish to thank the following for their invaluable contributions: 1. Dr. Amelia T. Marquez, for giving me the opportunity to prove myself and despite our ‘occasional differences, had not lost her belief in me; 2. Joseph Floresta, for creating a hype for MEGAREVIEW and = CALCULATOR TECHNIQUES; 3. Engineer Edison Dizon ( my former student in MegaReview and now TIP CE Professor), for creating the original manuscript and infusing @ lot of ideas in the book; 4. Engineer Erich Gonzales ( my former student in MegaReview), for designing the 5. My Siblings , Linda, Susan, Tessie, Hernalyn, Nene, Ronald and my Father Bayani for their unconditional support; 6. My friends and colleagues, Engineer Reggie Regondola (now a faculty of Civil Engineering at Ateneo De Naga University) Engineer Adolia Rocamora, (now President ‘of Abratique and Associates), Engineer Veronica Masangkay, (now Project Manager of TCG!) , who stood by me through the good times, the bad times and thank God, finally, the good times again; 7. To my co author, Dr. Della Fainsan, for her contributions many problems, particularly Electrical Engineering applications; 8. And last but ultimately to the Almighty God where all talents emanate.
