This fourth edition of ‘Engineering Mathematics’ covers a wide range of syllabus requirements. In particular, the book is most suitable for the latest National Certificate and Diploma courses and

Vocational Certificate of Education syllabuses in Engineering. This text will provide a foundation inmathematical principles, which will enable students to solve mathematical, scientific and associated engineering principles. In addition, the material will provide engineering applications and mathematical principles necessary for advancement onto a range of Incorporated Engineer degree profiles. It is widely recognised that a students’ ability to usemathematics is a key element in determining subsequent success. First year undergraduates who need some remedial mathematics will also find this book meets their needs. In Engineering Mathematics 4th Edition, theory is introduced in each chapter by a simple outline of essential definitions, formulae, laws and procedures. The theory is kept to a minimum, for problem solving is extensively used to establish and exemplify the theory. It is intended that readers will gain real understanding through seeing problems solved and then through solving similar problems themselves. For clarity, the text is divided into ten topic areas, these being: number and algebra, mensuration, trigonometry, graphs, vectors, complex numbers, statistics, differential calculus, integral calculus and further number and algebra.
