About this title

Synopsis

The book, having eight chapters, offers one semester course (with four credit hours per week) on diverse topics usually included in the mathematics syllabus of the first year Engineering class of most Universities. The first chapter deals with the introductory topics in 2-dimensional coordinate geometry: straight lines and conic sections. A brief discussion of theory of equations is given in the second chapter. Vectors (mostly in 3-dimensional space) are introduced in the third chapter. Vector algebra and products of vectors are included. The next chapter deals with the matrices and determinants. Matrix algebra including multiplication of matrices is given. Further concepts such as rank of a matrix etc. are avoided. A comprehensive course on convergence of infinite series forms the subject mater of Chapter 5. Presuming that the students already had a first course on calculus only main concepts and results of differentiation and integration of functions of single variable have been given in the chapter 6. Power series, Maclaurin's and Taylor's expansions are explained in detail in the same chapter.
