Engineering Mathematics

Product Information

This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use. He has over 45 years' experience of successfully teaching, lecturing, instructing, training, educating and planning trainee engineers study programmes. A mapping grid is included showing precisely which topics are required for the learning outcomes of each unit, for ease of reference. Lecturers can access the solutions and marking schemes to the revision tests in the book, as well as all of the illustrations used in the book, which can be downloaded for use in the classroom. The extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal text for introductory level engineering courses.

John Bird, BSc (Hons), CEng, CMath, CSci, FIMA, FIET, FCollT, is the former Head of Applied Electronics in the Faculty of Technology at Highbury College, Portsmouth, UK. Mathematical theories are explained in a straightforward manner, supported by practical engineering examples and applications to ensure that readers can relate theory to practice. Some 1,000 engineering situations/problems have been ‘flagged-up’ to help demonstrate that engineering cannot be fully understood without a good knowledge of mathematics. This book is perfect as a resource, because it has just the right kinds of topics presented in just the right way, for any pre-engineering student.

Biography: John Bird, BSc (Hons), CEng, CMath, CSci, FIMA, FIET, FCollT, is the former Head of Applied Electronics in the Faculty of Technology at Highbury College, Portsmouth, UK. He is a chartered engineer, a chartered mathematician, a chartered scientist and a Fellow of three professional institutions, and is currently lecturing at the Defence School of Marine and Air Engineering in the Defence College of Technical Training at HMS Sultan, Gosport, Hampshire, UK.

Extensive Solutions Manual: 640 pages featuring worked solutions for 1,000 of the further problems and exercises in the book - available on http://www. He has recently retired from lecturing at the Defence College of Marine Engineering in the Defence College of Technical Training at H. John Bird’s approach, based on numerous worked examples and interactive problems, is ideal for students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, and can be worked through at the student’s own pace. Some 1,000 engineering situations/problems have been 'flagged-up' to help demonstrate that engineering cannot be fully understood without a good knowledge of mathematics. Unlike most engineering maths texts, this book does not assume a firm grasp of GCSE maths, yet unlike low-level general maths texts the content is tailored for the needs of engineers.The textbook is therefore ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and especially for those who find the theoretical side of mathematics difficult. Higher Engineering Mathematics has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams by developing problem-solving skills, It is supported by over 600 practical engineering examples and applications which relate theory to practice. Introductory-level algebra: To enable students to revise basic algebra needed for engineering courses - available at http://books.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Mostengineeringcourseswillre-teacheverythinganyway,justatanacceleratedrate,althoughthingslikebasicalgebraandbasicmathsknowledgewillbeexpected.This extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal book for a range of university degree modules, foundation degrees, and HNC/D units. He has recently retired from lecturing at the Royal Navy's Defence College of Marine Engineering in the Defence College of Technical Training at H. Basic mathematical theories are explained in the simplest of terms, supported by practical engineering examples and applications from a wide variety of engineering disciplines, to ensure the reader can relate the theory to actual engineering practice. New material has been added on logarithms and exponential functions, binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers, vectors and methods of adding alternating waveforms.
