Book Description

Publication Date: 24 Jun 1999 | ISBN-10: 0198504284 | ISBN-13: 978-0198504283

Mathematics plays a key part in every quantitative and theoretical study, and is taught to all science and engineering students to varying degrees at college. This book spans a large range of topics, from basic arithmetic and algebra to calculus and Fourier transforms and bridges the gap between school and university. Its informal and readable tutorial style should make it accessible to the novice, while its very concise nature will ensure that it's a useful reference for the experienced professional. Although the emphasis may not be on the formal proof of every statement, the conveying of a meaningful understanding of where the results come from is central to aims of this text: it is intended to be much more than just a formula-book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, Very Good. 15 Dec 2000

By l.bateman@rl.ac.uk

Format:Paperback

I got these books recommended from a friend and I have found that they are brilliant. They start from GCSE maths and then works its way to 2nd Year university Maths. I have found it so useful, as i am a Physics Undergraduate, for my course. It covers everything i need and will be useful to look back at maths i have done in the past, for future reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good maths background / refresher for undergraduate Science qualifications 26 Jan 2012

By Brainman

Format:Paperback

I am currently doing two Open University Maths modules (MST121 & MS221 - both excellent) as part of a Natural Sciences degree. This book parallels much of what I have done on my courses but is written in a different but equally understandable way. Recommended.
