Title overview
Engineering Mathematics is the unparalleled undergraduate textbook for students of electrical, electronic, communications, and systems engineering. This widely used text, now in its fifth edition, takes on an applications-focused approach to ensure a deep and practical understanding.
Hallmark Features
- Two disciplines, one book: Integrates engineering and mathematics through an applications focused treatment.
- Builds from foundation to advanced techniques: Carefully develops the full range of mathematical techniques most appropriate to students of electrical, electronic, systems and communications engineering.
- Clear, comprehensive and applied coverage: Detailed guidance on how to use each mathematical technique, now with more detailed explanation around why a technique is important to engineers.
- Extensive revision to ensure up to date coverage: Includes updated treatment of integral transform methods, including the Laplace, z and Fourier transforms.
- Links theory and practice: Numerous examples to illustrate mathematical theory and its application to engineering.
- Exercises throughout the book enable students to test their understanding. Answers provided in the book.
New to this Edition
- Thorough content update, with new material on Bessel’s equation and Bessel functions and updated treatment of integral transform methods, including the Laplace, z and Fourier transforms
- Significantly expanded ‘Engineering Application’ feature shows students how mathematics is used in different real-world engineering contexts.
- Technical Computing Exercises’ provide guidance and support in the use of MATLAB.
- Revised to include more detailed explanation around why a technique is important to engineers and essential guidance around how to use mathematics to solve engineering problems.
