Foundations of Science Mathematics OCP 2e Summary

Foundations of Science Mathematics OCP 2e by Devinder Sivia

Mathematics plays a key part in every quantitative and theoretical subject, and is taught to all science and engineering students. Foundations of Science Mathematics bridges the gap between school and university, and spans a large range of topics, from basic arithmetic and algebra to calculus, Fourier transforms, and elementary data analysis. Problems and worked solutions are presented in an informal and readable tutorial style, making the text accessible to the novice, while its concise nature ensures that it is a useful reference for the experienced professional. The first edition primer and its companion 'Worked Problems' workbook are combined in this new edition, and a new chapter on data analysis has been added to ensure the book remains as comprehensive and useful to students as possible.
