Engineering Mathematics with Examples and Applications provides a compact and concise primer in the field, starting with the foundations, and then gradually developing to the advanced level of mathematics that is necessary for all engineering disciplines. Therefore, this book's aim is to help undergraduates rapidly develop the fundamental knowledge of engineering mathematics.

The book can also be used by graduates to review and refresh their mathematical skills. Step-by-step worked examples will help the students gain more insights and build sufficient confidence in engineering mathematics and problem-solving. The main approach and style of this book is informal, theorem-free, and practical. By using an informal and theorem-free approach, all fundamental mathematics topics required for engineering are covered, and readers can gain such basic knowledge of all important topics without worrying about rigorous (often boring) proofs.

Certain rigorous proof and derivatives are presented in an informal way by direct, straightforward mathematical operations and calculations, giving students the same level of fundamental knowledge without any tedious steps. In addition, this practical approach provides over 100 worked examples so that students can see how each step of mathematical problems can be derived without any gap or jump in steps. Thus, readers can build their understanding and mathematical confidence gradually and in a step-by-step manner.

Key Features

  • Covers fundamental engineering topics that are presented at the right level, without worry of rigorous proofs
  • Includes step-by-step worked examples (of which 100+ feature in the work)
  • Provides an emphasis on numerical methods, such as root-finding algorithms, numerical integration, and numerical methods of differential equations
  • Balances theory and practice to aid in practical problem-solving in various contexts and applications

Readership

Undergraduates and graduates in all engineering disciplines (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, geotechnical, water and transport engineering), but also related applied sciences, computer science and management sciences researchers who require an understanding of key mathematical modeling techniques but are not themselves mathematicians

Engineeering Mathematics with Examples and Applications

Review by Robert K. on 24 Jan 2018 review stating Engineeering Mathematics with Examples and Applications

This book is an excellent review of many topics in mathematics, and not specific to any particular field of engineering. I oversee a graduate program in financial engineering and will recommend this to students prior to their starting the program as a way to refresh their understanding of a number of topics that will be used in their course work.
