Synopsis

Excerpt from Engineering Mathematics: A Series of Lectures Delivered at Union College

The following work embodies the subject-matter of a lecture course which I have given to the junior and senior electrical engineering students of Union University for a number of years.

It is generally conceded that a fair knowledge of mathematics is necessary to the engineer, and especially the electrical engineer. For the latter, however, some branches of mathematics are of fundamental importance, as the algebra of the general number, the exponential and trigonometric series, etc., which are seldom adequately treated, and often not taught at all in the usual text-books of mathematics, or in the college course of analytic geometry and calculus given to the engineering students, and, therefore, electrical engineers often possess little knowledge of these subjects. As the result, an electrical engineer, even if he possess a fair knowledge of mathematics, may often find difficulty in dealing with problems, through lack of familiarity with these branches of mathematics, which have become of importance in electrical engineering, and may also find difficulty in looking up information on these subjects.

In the same way the college student, when beginning the study of electrical engineering theory, after completing his general course of mathematics, frequently finds himself sadly deficient in the knowledge of mathematical subjects, of which a complete familiarity is required for effective understanding of electrical engineering theory. It was this experience which led me some years ago to start the course of lectures which is reproduced in the following pages. I have thus attempted to bring together and discuss explicitly, with numerous practical applications, all those branches of mathematics which are of special importance to the electrical engineer.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Id preparing the third edition of Engineering Mathematics, besides revision and correction of the previous text, considerable new matter has been added. The chain fraction has been recognized and discussed ass convenient method of numerical representation and approximation; a paragraph has been devoted to the diophantic equa.tions, and a section added on engineering reports, discussing the dilT erent purposes for which engineering reports are made, and the corresponding character and nature of the report, in its bearing on the success and recognition of the engineers work.
