Engineering Mathematics Summary

Engineering Mathematics by John Bird (Defence College of Technical Training, UK)

Now in its eighth edition, Engineering Mathematics is an established textbook that has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams. John Bird's approach is based on worked examples and interactive problems. Mathematical theories are explained in a straightforward manner, being supported by practical engineering examples and applications in order to ensure that readers can relate theory to practice. The extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal text for a range of Level 2 and 3 engineering courses. This title is supported by a companion website with resources for both students and lecturers, including lists of essential formulae and multiple choice tests.

Engineering Mathematics Reviews

'The book contains plenty of examples and problems with practical tutor resources online too, which include tests and sample answers.' Chris Collins, Lincoln College

'Good all round text book with plenty of worked examples and exercises.' Eoin Fitzgerald, Limerick Institute of Technology

'A very learner friendly text which is easy to follow, with many worked examples followed by graded exercises at the end of each chapter. Good coverage of the syllabus along with revision tests to consolidate the learning. The addition of free internet downloads make this an excellent text book.' Alun Furzer, Newport and District Group Training Association

'Plenty of relevant worked examples. Coverage of the curriculum is excellent with a clear, readable font. Instructions for calculators are provided for a Casio which is a popular choice among my students.' Peter Dop, Deeside College

I love this book. It is well laid out and presented. It has good progression with good use of examples, questions and assessment John Langston, Qinetiq
