From the Back Cover
*Features real-world examples, case studies, assignments and knowledge-check questions throughout *Introduces key mathematical methods in practical engineering contexts *Bridges the gap between theory and practiceMathematics for Engineers and Technologists provides all the essential mathematical information an engineering student needs in preparation for real-life engineering practice. The authors present the subject from an engineering systems perspective – a uniquely student centred approach which introduces the need for the techniques under discussion, before introducing the techniques themselves. With easily accessible material introduced through case studies, assignments and knowledge-check questions, this book is designed to bridge the gap between academic study and vocational application. The interactive style of the book brings the subjects to life, and activities and case studies keep the mathematics firmly rooted in the context of real life engineering practice, rather than focussing on theory alone.
