Synopsis

On each topic, the author provides a concise summary of the theory, followed by worked examples that explain how problems are solved. Readers can then reinforce their understanding by working through the selected and graded problems. Topics covered include hyperbolic functions, De Moivre's theorem, methods of differentiation, logarithmic differentiation, integration by parts, homogeneous first order differential equations, Fourier series, Laplace transforms, linear correlation, and linear regression.

About this title

Book Description

A fully comprehensive and highly practical resource to the subject of engineering mathematics

From the Back Cover

A fully comprehensive and highly practical resource to the subject of engineering mathematics.

John Bird's approach, based on numerous worked examples supported by problems, is ideal for students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, and can be worked through at the student's own pace. This has been proved by the thousands of students guided to exam success by previous editions of this book and the highly popular companion title 'Engineering Mathematics'.

A wide and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal text for a wide range of university degree modules and institution-devised HNC / D units. However, the book has been written specifically to cater for the engineering mathematics units of the new Higher National Engineering schemes from Edexcel, including the core unit 'Analytical Methods for Engineers', and the two specialist units 'Further Analytical Methods for Engineers' and 'Engineering Mathematics', common to both the electrical / electronic engineering and mechanical engineering pathways. The new edition covers the 'Engineering Mathematics' unit in its entirety, covering material particularly appropriate to undergraduate students studying with this book.

A free Instructor's Manual is available to download, containing full solutions to all of the assignments featured in the book. Also available on the companion website is a comprehensive set of introductory level algebra and related material, to enable students to revise the basics of this essential area of engineering mathematics before embarking on further study of the subject as a whole.
