Engineering Mathematics : A Foundation for Electronic, Electrical, Communications and Systems Engineers

Popular electrical engineering maths textbook, packed full of relevant modern applications and a huge number of examples and exercises.

Engineering Mathematics is the leading undergraduate textbook for courses in electrical and electronic engineering, systems and communications engineering. It is aimed primarily at Years 1 and 2.

Key features of the book:

·   Integrates engineering and mathematics through an applications-focused treatment

·   Carefully develops, in a single comprehensive volume, the foundation and advanced mathematical techniques most appropriate to students of electrical, electronic, systems and communications engineering, including: algebra, trigonometry and calculus, as well as set theory, sequences and series, Boolean algebra, logic and difference equations

·   The relevance of mathematics is illustrated through a diverse range of examples, providing motivation for students of all abilities

·   Clear, comprehensive explanations written in an accessible and user-friendly style

·   Includes a thorough treatment of integral transform methods essential for the modern, professional engineer, particularly the Laplace, z and Fourier transforms

·   All topics are illustrated with a substantial number of fully worked examples and exercises with solutions, enabling students to practise, develop and test their knowledge.

The fourth edition has been revised to include:

·   new sections on the applications of  number bases, summation notation, the sinc x function, waves, polar curves and the discrete cosine transform

·   a new Engineering Application feature, showcasing an extensive range of applied examples, including music technology, sustainable engineering and digital image processing.
