Suitable for a first year course in the subject, this book is an introduction to the field of engineering mathematics. The book is accompanied by online bridging chapters - refresher units in core subjects to bring students up to speed with what they'll need to know before taking the engineering mathematics course.
Building on the foundations laid in the companion text Modern Engineering Mathematics, this book gives an extensive treatment of some of the advanced areas of mathematics that have applications in various fields of engineering, particularly as tools for computer-based system modelling, analysis and design. The philosophy of learning by doing helps students develop the ability to use mathematics with understanding to solve engineering problems. A wealth of engineering examples and the integration of MATLAB and MAPLE further support students.
This important new edition provides a complete course for first year Engineering Mathematics, which is taught to most engineering students including mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics, systems, aeronautical and chemical engineers. Key features of this edition: * Comprehensive coverage of first year Engineering Mathematics * Thorough approach with emphasis on promoting understanding and applicability to solutions of engineering problems * Numerous fully worked examples and exercises * Excellent coverage of applications Key new changes based on extensive research from students and lecturers: * Improved two-colour format * The addition of basic skills exercises and improved presentation of other exercises, including suggestions for using software * Reinstated chapter on Fourier series * Reinstated section on eigenvalues and eigenvectors * Updated solutions manual including suggestions for using MAPLE and MATLAB * Increased range of applications in both examples and exercises * A companion web siteProfessor Glyn James is currently Emeritus Professor within the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences at Coventry University, having previously been Dean of the School.As in
