Description: Unlike most engineering maths texts, this book does not assume a firm grasp of GCSE maths, and unlike low-level general maths texts, the content is tailored specifically for the needs of engineers. The result is a unique book written for engineering students, which takes a starting point below GCSE level. Basic Engineering Mathematics is therefore ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and especially for those who find the theoretical side of mathematics difficult.
All students taking vocational engineering courses who
require
fundamental knowledge of mathematics for engineering and do not
have prior knowledge beyond basic school mathematics, will find this
book essential reading. The content has been designed primarily to meet
the needs of students studying Level 2 courses, including GCSE
Engineering and Intermediate GNVQ, and is matched to BTEC First
specifications. However Level 3 students will also find this text to be a
useful resource for getting to grips with the essential mathematics
concepts needed for their study, as the compulsory topics required in
BTEC National and AVCE / A Level courses are also addressed.
The
fourth edition incorporates new material on adding waveforms, graphs
with logarithmic scales, and inequalities – key topics needed for GCSE
and Level 2 study.
John Bird’s approach is based on numerous
worked examples, supported by 600 worked problems, followed by 1050
further problems within exercises included throughout the text. In
addition, 15 Assignments are included at regular intervals. Ideal for
use as tests or homework, full solutions to the Assignments are supplied
in the accompanying Instructor’s Manual, available as a free download
for lecturers from http://textbooks.elsevier.com.
