Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition covers a wide
range of syllabus requirements. In particular, the book
is most suitable for the latest National Certificate and
Diploma courses and City & Guilds syllabuses in
Engineering.
This text will provide a foundation in mathematical
principles, which will enable students to solve mathematical,
scientific and associated engineering principles.
In addition, the material will provide engineering
applications and mathematical principles necessary for
advancement onto a range of Incorporated Engineer
degree profiles. It is widely recognised that a students’
ability to use mathematics is a key element in determining
subsequent success. First year undergraduates who
need some remedialmathematicswill also find this book
meets their needs.
In Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition, new material
is included on logarithms, exponential functions,
vectors and methods of adding alternating waveforms.
A feature of this sixth edition is that a free Internet
download is available of a sample of solutions (some
1250) of the 1750 further problems contained in the
book – see page xiii.
Another new feature is a free Internet download of
a PowerPoint presentation of all 500 illustrations
contained in the text – see page xiii.
Three statistics chapters – on linear correlation, linear
regression and sampling and estimation theories – are
available to all via the Internet.
Throughout the text theory is introduced in each chapter
by a simple outline of essential definitions, formulae,
laws and procedures. The theory is kept to a minimum,
for problem solving is extensively used to establish and
exemplify the theory. It is intended that readers will
gain real understanding through seeing problems solved
and then through solving similar problems themselves.
For clarity, the text is divided into 11 topic areas,
these being: number and algebra, areas and volumes,
trigonometry, graphs, complex numbers, vectors,
statistics, differential calculus, integral calculus, further
number and algebra and differential equations
