A long-standing, best-selling, comprehensive textbook covering all the mathematics required on upper level engineering mathematics undergraduate courses. Its unique approach takes you through all the mathematics you need in a step-by-step fashion with a wealth of examples and exercises. The text demands that you engage with it by asking you to complete steps that you should be able to manage from previous examples or knowledge you have acquired, while carefully introducing new steps. By working with the authors through the examples, you become proficient as you go. By the time you come to trying examples on their own, confidence is high.
- A unique technique-oriented approach takes the student through the mathematics in a highly accessible fashion
- Hundreds of worked examples and progressively more challenging exercises allow students plenty of practice to build experience and confidence.
- Revision Summaries, Test Exercises and Further Problems enable students to check their progress
- Comprehensive coverage of all topics required by undergraduates taking Engineering and Science degree courses
- Ideal for course use or for self-study
