About the Book

This book aims to show students that mathematics can be a powerful tool for solving engineering problems, and to provide the sound foundations from which the mathematically inclined engineer can build. Each chapter follows the same programmed structure. The learning objectives are listed and the mathematical material introduced and amplified through the liberal use of worked examples. Workshop sessions are then provided in the form of steps, during which the reader is invited to participate and respond. These steps are organized in such a way that able students can move ahead speedily whereas those experiencing difficulties are given a helping hand. Towards the end of each chapter is a practical section, where a physical problem using some of the mathematics learned is solved. Finally, each chapter is summarized, and tutorial problems with hints and solutions are provided. Further exercises are also supplied for extra practice. Each chapter has been selected to reflect relevant engineering problems. For example, a chapter on difference equations reflecting the increasing attention being given to discrete mathematics is featured. Modern notation has been used, but only when it seems desirable for clarity, and never for its own sake. The author also highlights and tackles a number of misconceptions and errors common to students of engineering mathematics in order to help readers avoid making similar mistakes.
