Product Description

Product Description

Mathematics is crucial to all aspects of engineering and technology. Understanding key mathematical concepts and applying them successfully to solve problems are vital skills every engineering student must acquire. This text teaches, applies and nurtures those skills.

Mathematics for Engineers is informal, accessible and practically oriented. The material is structured so students build up their knowledge and understanding gradually. The interactive examples have been carefully designed to encourage students to engage fully in the problem-solving process.



From the Back Cover

“This is an excellent text for developing the skills and confidence of first year students of engineering mathematics.”

Dr. Kevin Golden, University of the West of England


Understanding key mathematical concepts and applying them successfully to solve problems are vital skills that all engineering students must acquire. Mathematics for Engineers teaches, develops and nurtures those skills. Practical, informal and accessible, it begins with the foundations and gradually builds upon this knowledge as it introduces more complex concepts until you have learned everything you will need for your first year engineering maths course, together with introductory material for even more advanced topics.

Key features

  • Hundreds of interactive examples are provided in the context of various engineering disciplines, so you are able to both engage with the problems and also see the relevance of the maths to your wider studies.  
  • A wealth of practice and revision exercises with solutions help test your knowledge.
  • Key points and important results are highlighted throughout.
  • Computer and calculator examples and exercises are incorporated in relevant sections.
  • Specimen examination papers give further opportunity to practise for high stake assessments. 
  • A foundation section gives you a firm base in arithmetic, the building block of many high-level mathematical topics.
  • An accompanying website is available, which contains supporting resources for both students and lecturers.

Anthony Croft is Professor of Mathematics Education at Loughborough University and Robert Davison is Faculty Head of Quality Assurance at De Montfort University. They have authored many best-selling mathematics textbooks including several for engineering students.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent!, 27 Jun 2006
By Mr. D. W. Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have found this book invaluable during the first year of my BEng course, it is clear in its explanations and always seems to follow the simplest most systematic way to solving problems.

I think this book is particularly good because it starts off with the basics and works you up to a high level, so it is particularly good if you dont feel too confident with your maths, there are plenty of worked examples and questions to attempt to help you gain confidence.

Having looked at most other maths textbooks in the library this year i have always found this the clearest and most user friendly book, so for this reason i recommend it to anyone in the first year of a BEng course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of information thats easy to digest, 16 Mar 2001
By A Customer
If you need to learn or re-learn maths for any particular reason and you have enough time to sit down and work systematically through a book, this is the one to get. It has a clear reader-friendly layout with lots of highlighted key points to remember when it comes to revision. The chapters are split up into blocks and there are questions at the end of each one which build up to an end of chapter test, so you have plently of opportunities to test what you have read. A very good buy, especially for those who are weak at maths.

4.0 out of 5 stars I just don't know who would read this book..., 18 Sep 2007
By R. Poulton (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was forced to buy this for the first year of an MEng course and the level of the material just didn't seem right. The first several chapters revise addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Eventually it reaches the level of A-Level maths, which should be a pre-requisite for most engineering degrees anyway. The only things that I hadn't covered before starting my degree were laplace transforms and fourier series.

I guess it could be a good book for revision, but who really has the time to read a 1000 page book on topics they know inside out?

So in conclusion, its probably a good book for the niche market of people who dont have any mathematical background and want a foundation for technical learning- perhaps technicians trying to go professional.
