This compendium of essential formulae, definitions, tables and general
information provides the mathematical information required by
engineering students, technicians, scientists and professionals in
day-to-day engineering practice. A practical and versatile reference
source, now in its fifth edition, the layout has been changed and
streamlined to ensure the information is even more quickly and readily
available - making it a handy companion on-site, in the office as well
as for academic study. It also acts as a practical revision guide for
those undertaking degree courses in engineering and science, and for
BTEC Nationals, Higher Nationals and NVQs, where mathematics is an
underpinning requirement of the course.
All the essentials of engineering mathematics - from algebra, geometry
and trigonometry to logic circuits, differential equations and
probability - are covered, with clear and succinct explanations and
illustrated with over 300 line drawings and 500 worked examples based in
real-world application. The emphasis throughout the book is on providing
the practical tools needed to solve mathematical problems quickly and
efficiently in engineering contexts. John Bird's presentation of this
core material puts all the answers at your fingertips.
