Bird's Higher Engineering Mathematics

Abstract

This ninth edition of ‘ Bird's Higher Engineering Mathematics’ covers essential mathematical material suitable for students studying Degrees, Foundation Degrees and Higher National Certi cate and Diploma courses in Engineering disciplines. The text has been conveniently divided into the following thirteen convenient categories: number and algebra, geometry and trigonometry, graphs, complex numbers, matrices and determinants, vector geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, Z-transforms and statistics and probability. Increasingly, dif culty in understanding algebra is proving a problem for many students as they commence studying engineering courses. Inevitably there are a lot of formulae and calculations involved with engineering studies that require a sound grasp of algebra. On the website, www.routledge.com/bird is a document which offers a quick revision of the main areas of algebra essential for further study, i.e. basic algebra, simple equations, transposition of formulae, simultaneous equations and quadratic equations.
