Synopsis

This work gives an introduction to mathematical topics needed in first-year engineering mathematics courses. It can be used both as a supplement to a lecture course and as a text for private study. The book is divided into a large number of specific topic-based sections, which can be studied separately. Each section uses a group of worked examples to demonstrate theories and techniques, with comprehensive problem sets to reinforce understanding of the subject. Answers to over 1300 separate problems are also included.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1992, Essentials of Engineering Mathematics is a widely popular reference ideal for self-study, review, and fast answers to specific questions. While retaining the style and content that made the first edition so successful, the second edition provides even more examples, new material, and most importantly, an introduction to using two of the most prevalent software packages in engineering: Maple and MATLAB. Specifically, this edition includes:

Introductory accounts of Maple and MATLAB that offer a quick start to using symbolic software to perform calculations, explore the properties of functions and mathematical operations, and generate graphical output

New problems involving the mean value theorem for derivatives

Extension of the account of stationary points of functions of two variables

The concept of the direction field of a first-order differential equation

Introduction to the delta function and its use with the Laplace transform

The author includes all of the topics typically covered in first-year undergraduate engineering mathematics courses, organized into short, easily digestible sections that make it easy to find any subject of interest. Concise, right-to-the-point exposition, a wealth of examples, and extensive problem sets at the end each chapter--with answers at the end of the book--combine to make Essentials of Engineering Mathematics, Second Edition ideal as a supplemental textbook, for self-study, and as a quick guide to fundamental concepts and techniques.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book presents the essentials of a first course in Engineering Maths as simply as possible, and can be used as a supplement to a lecture course and for private study. Based on a collection of short sections specific to certain topics, the text allows students to identify subjects of interest which can be studied separately with little background reading. Each section uses many detailed worked examples to demonstrate theories and techniques. Formal proofs are kept to a minimum, and only included when absolutely necessary. Comprehensive problem sets at the end of each section are an integral part of the text and should be worked through to reinforce the understanding of the subject. Detailed answers are given to over 1300 problems. For reference, lists of mathematical formulae, standard integrals and Laplace Transform pairs are given.
