Understanding key mathematical concepts and applying them successfully to solve problems are vital skills that all engineering students must acquire. Mathematics for Engineers introduces, teaches, develops and nurtures those skills. Practical, informal and accessible, it begins with the foundations and gradually builds upon this knowledge as it introduces more complex concepts until you have learned everything you will need for your first year engineering mathematics course, together with a wealth of introductory material for even more advanced topics such as Laplace and Fourier transforms and partial differential equations.

Key features

· Applications of mathematics drawn from a wide range of engineering areas: aeronautical, automotive, chemical, civil, computer, electrical and electronic, manufacturing, materials, mechanical, production, reliability, and systems engineering.

· Hundreds of interactive examples are provided in the context of various engineering disciplines, so you are able to both engage with the problems and also see the relevance of the maths to your wider studies.

· A wealth of practice and revision exercises with solutions help test your knowledge.

· Key points and important results are highlighted throughout.

· Computer and calculator examples and exercises are incorporated in relevant sections.

· Specimen examination papers give further opportunity to practise.

· A foundation section gives you a firm base in arithmetic, the building block of many high-level mathematical topics.

New to this 5th edition

· significant enhancements integrating the use of computer software in the solution of engineering mathematics problems

· widening of the applications base to include more from mechanical, materials and aeronautical engineering

· introductory material on the solution of partial differential equations, loci in the complex plane and the equation of a circle

Anthony Croft is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics Education at Loughborough University and Robert Davison spent over 30 years teaching and writing mathematics for higher education students.

They have authored many best-selling mathematics textbooks including several for engineering students

A market-leading text providing a fundamental source of knowledge on key mathematical concepts every engineer needs.

Mathematics for Engineers, 5th edition by Croft and Davidson, is the ultimate textbook in the field that will offer you the tools and support you need to develop vital mathematical skills for your profession.

Practical, informal, and accessible, this book covers all requirements for a first-year engineering maths course, together with introductory material for even more advanced topics. Although the breadth of knowledge introduced requires a firm grasp of algebra to perform the techniques of calculus, the textbook will guide you through the foundations of the discipline and help you develop and nurture your skills gradually, introducing more complex concepts as you progress through the chapters.

The latest edition combines traditional learning methods with interactive examples that will further support your learning, encouraging you to participate actively in the learning process and perform the relevant calculations to work through them.

The main features also include:

• A brief introduction of the material in each chapter, followed by an explanation of the concepts presented.
• Examples and applications in each chapter that will help you cement your knowledge on the topics, encouraging you to participate in the problem-solving process.
• Highlighted key points and important results, helping you remember what you study - especially during the revision process.
