Modern Engineering Mathematics

This book provides a complete course for first-year engineering mathematics. Whichever field of engineering you are studying, you will be most likely to require knowledge of the mathematics presented in this textbook. Taking a thorough approach, the authors put the concepts into an engineering context, so you can understand the relevance of mathematical techniques presented and gain a fuller appreciation of how to draw upon them throughout your studies.   Key features Comprehensive coverage of first-year engineering mathematics Fully worked examples and exercises provide relevance and reinforce the role of mathematics in the various branches of engineering Excellent coverage of engineering applications Over 1200 exercises to help monitor progress with your learning and provide a more progressive level of difficulty Online refresher units' covering topics you should have encountered previously but may not have used for some time MATLAB and MAPLE are fully integrated, showing you how these powerful tools can be used to support your work in mathematics Glyn James is currently Emeritus Professor in Mathematics at Coventry University, having previously been Dean of the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences. As in previous editions he has drawn upon the knowledge and experience of his co-authors to provide an excellent revision of the book.
