This popular, world-wide selling textbook teaches engineering mathematics in a step-by-step fashion and uniquely through engineering examples and exercises which apply the techniques right from their introduction. This contextual use of mathematics is highly motivating, as with every topic and each new page students see the importance and relevance of mathematics in engineering. The examples are taken from mechanics, aerodynamics, electronics, engineering, fluid dynamics and other areas. While being general and accessible for all students, they also highlight how mathematics works in any individual’s engineering discipline. The material is often praised for its careful pace, and the author pauses to ask questions to keep students reflecting. Proof of mathematical results is kept to a minimum. Instead the book develops learning by investigating results, observing patterns, visualizing graphs and answering questions using technology.
This textbook is ideal for first year undergraduates and those on pre-degree courses in Engineering (all disciplines) and Science.
Teaches mathematics in engineering contexts so reason for learning is evident
Friendly, carefully-paced approach which students welcome
Assumes little previous knowledge and suits a wide variety of mathematical backgrounds
Fully worked (and extensively used) solutions to every problem on the companion website
Introductory chapter revises indices, fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios
Abundance of worked examples and exercises including new exam questions
Also on the companion website an excellent introduction to MATLAB, plus a searchable glossary, extra exercises, and additional topics
Fully revised and improved on the basis of student feedback
New sections
More examples, more exam questions
Vignettes and photos of key mathematicians
