Mathematics For Engineers - Volume 1: Numbers And Equations, Vectors And Matrices, Functions In One Variable, Differential Calculus

The Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences started an English-language Bachelor's program in Electrical Engineering in 2021. In order to support our international students with appropriate material, this three-volume textbook was written. Taking into account that different students will attend different mathematics courses, we decided to design three volumes of a series of mathematics books, each part for a single semester. Mathematical terms are clearly motivated, systematically equated and visualized in many animations. Mathematical proofs are almost completely renounced. Instead, a lot of applications support not only the application of mathematics but also contribute to a better understanding of mathematics. Important formulas and statements are clearly highlighted in order to increase the readability of the books. More than 300 images and sketches support the character of modern textbooks. The color-coded layout provides a clear overview of the presentation of the content, e.g. by adding new terms and definitions in light grey, important statements and sentences in grey.
