Full Description
A market-leading text providing a fundamental source of knowledge of key mathematical concepts every engineer needs.
Mathematics for Engineers, 6th edition, by Croft and Davison, is the ultimate textbook in the field that will offer you the tools and support you need to develop vital mathematical skills for your profession.
Practical, informal, and accessible, this book covers all requirements of a first-year engineering mathematics course, together with introductory material for even more advanced topics. Although the breadth of knowledge introduced requires a firm grasp of algebra to perform the techniques of calculus, the textbook guides students through the foundations of the discipline and helps them develop and nurture their skills gradually, introducing more complex concepts as they progress through the chapters.
This latest edition combines traditional learning methods with interactive examples that further support students' learning, encouraging them to participate actively in the learning process and perform relevant calculations.
The main features of this text include:
A brief introduction of the material in each chapter, followed by an explanation of the concepts presented.
Examples and applications in each chapter that help students cement their knowledge on the topics, encouraging them to participate in the problem-solving process.
Highlighted key points and important results, which help students remember what they study especially during the revision process.
