Fifth Edition
By
John Bird, BSc (Hons), CEng, CMath, CSci, FIET, MIEE, FIIE, FIMA, FCollT, Royal Naval School of Marine Engineering, HMS Sultan, Gosport; formerly University of Portsmouth and Highbury College, UK
Description
John Bird?s approach, based on numerous worked examples and interactive problems, is ideal for students from a wide range of academic
backgrounds, and can be worked through at the student?s own pace. Basic mathematical theories are explained in the simplest of terms,
supported by practical engineering examples and applications from a wide variety of engineering disciplines, to ensure the reader can
relate the theory to actual engineering practice. This extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal text for a range of
university degree modules, Foundation Degrees, and HNC/D units.
An established text which has helped many thousands of students to
gain exam success, now in its fifth edition
Higher Engineering Mathematics
has been further extended with new
topics to maximise the book?s applicability for first year engineering degree students, and those following Foundation Degrees. New material
includes: inequalities; differentiation of parametric equations; differentiation of hyperbolic functions; and homogeneous first order
differential equations.
This book also caters specifically for the engineering mathematics units of the Higher National Engineering
schemes from Edexcel, including the core unit Analytical Methods for Engineers, and the two specialist units Further Analytical
Methods for Engineers and Engineering Mathematics in their entirety, common to both the electrical/electronic engineering
and mechanical engineering pathways. A mapping grid is included showing precisely which topics are required for the learning outcomes
of each unit, for ease of reference.
The book is supported by a suite of free web downloads:
* Introductory-level algebra: To enable
students to revise basic algebra needed for engineering courses - available at http://books.elsevier.com/companions/9780750681520
* Instructor's
Manual: Featuring full worked solutions and mark scheme for all 19 assignments in the book and the remedial algebra assignment - available
