Mary Attenborough, PhD, The Webbery - Internet development, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Description
Mathematics for Electrical Engineering and Computing embraces many applications of modern mathematics, such as Boolean
Algebra and Sets and Functions, and also teaches both discrete and continuous systems - particularly vital for Digital Signal Processing
(DSP). In addition, as most modern engineers are required to study software, material suitable for Software Engineering - set theory,
predicate and prepositional calculus, language and graph theory - is fully integrated into the book.
Excessive technical detail and
language are avoided, recognising that the real requirement for practising engineers is the need to understand the applications
of mathematics in everyday engineering contexts. Emphasis is given to an appreciation of the fundamental concepts behind the mathematics,
for problem solving and undertaking critical analysis of results, whether using a calculator or a computer.
The text is backed up by
numerous exercises and worked examples throughout, firmly rooted in engineering practice, ensuring that all mathematical theory introduced
is directly relevant to real-world engineering. The book includes introductions to advanced topics such as Fourier analysis, vector calculus
and random processes, also making this a suitable introductory text for second year undergraduates of electrical, electronic and computer
engineering, undertaking engineering mathematics courses.
The book is supported with a number of free online resources.
On the companion website readers will find:
* over 60 pages of "Background
Mathematics" reinforcing introductory material for revision purposes in advance of your first year course
* plotXpose software (for equation
solving, and drawing graphs of simple functions, their derivatives, integrals and Fourier transforms)
* problems and projects (linking
directly to the software)
In addition, for lecturers only, http://textbooks.elsevier.com
features a complete worked solutions manual for the exercises in the book.
Dr Attenborough is a former
Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering at South Bank University. She is currently Technical
Director of The Webbery - Internet development company, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Audience
Undergraduate students of electronic and electrical engineering, computing/computer science and software engineering. Also suitable to
HNC / HND in the UK. Other first year engineering mathematics courses.
