Mathematics for Engineers introduces, teaches, develops and nurtures those skills. Practical, informal and accessible, it begins with the foundations and gradually builds upon this knowledge as it introduces more complex concepts until you have learned everything you will need for your first year engineering mathematics course, together with a wealth of introductory material for even more advanced topics such as Laplace and Fourier transforms and partial differential equations. Key features Applications of mathematics drawn from a wide range of engineering areas: aeronautical, automotive, chemical, civil, computer, electrical and electronic, manufacturing, materials, mechanical, production, reliability, and systems engineering. A wealth of practice and revision exercises with solutions help test your knowledge. Key points and important results are highlighted throughout. Computer and calculator examples and exercises are incorporated in relevant sections. Specimen examination papers give further opportunity to practise. A foundation section gives you a firm base in arithmetic, the building block of many high-level mathematical topics. New to this 5th edition - significant enhancements integrating the use of computer software in the solution of engineering mathematics problems - widening of the applications base to include more from mechanical, materials and aeronautical engineering - introductory material on the solution of partial differential equations, loci in the complex plane and the equation of a circler"-- UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/coventry/detail.action?docID=5186207&query=Mathematics+for+Engineers ER -
