5.0 out of 5 stars Engineering Mathematics, 10 Jul 2002

By	Dave Fox (London) - See all my reviews

Without doubt the best textbook that I have ever read. I first came across this book whilst studying for a Physics degree and since then I have used the book on countless occasions. K A Stroud has managed to create a book that teaches you as well as if you were actually in a lecture. Split into Programmes of study, each is sub-divided into Frames. The beginning of each Frame is almost a Dummies guide to... and yet by the time you reach Frame 15 you're strolling through some complex problems, as if you had been familiar with the subject for years. If all Physics and Engineering books were like this I'd have breezed through all of my exams. Unfortunately I only breezed through maths.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Engineering Students, 14 Jul 2005

By	Paul Johnson - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I know a lot of UK universities recommend this but if your university advises anything else, ignore them. Engineering Mathematics is the best text book I used in the course of my degree and I still use it today. I was fortunate to have a good maths lecturer but on the odd occasions I got lost during a lecture (or if I was unable to attend), following the relevant areas in Engineering Mathematics soon got me up to speed.

The book is split into a series of 28 programmes taking you from the simple stuff like Complex Numbers through more difficult subjects like Calculus. There is some statistics in there two. Each programme is broken out into a series of exercises which if you follow through sequentially take you from the basics in such a well devised step by step way that you never feel there is too big of a leap being made which is a problem with some other maths books.

Thank you K. A. Stroud for helping me through my degree!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very effective Tutorial, 18 Jul 2006

By	D. Tranter (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On almost all Engineering courses in the UK, this text is recommended as a tutorial on the mathematics required in first year BEng/MEng degrees.

On this basis, the book is very useful in teaching you the maths from basic GCSE level to material on Integration applications and Laplace Transforms (very inportant in Engineering). The book also takes in Trigonometry, matrices, Vectors, statistics and Calculus. The book is split into two parts, part one aims to cover the basic material covered in A-level Maths courses, whilst the second part, caters for the Undergraduate material. Having said that, topics in the second part such as Vectors, Matrices, Complex Numbers and Differential equations would be found in any decent A-Level Maths courses, so students may recognise many of the material in this book from previous study. The follow-up book 'Advanced Engineering Mathematics' is, as the title suggests, more challenging and aims to take the reader towards the later years in Engineering degrees.

The one drawback of this book is after you have read it, the book has very little value as a reference. Also looking for the information you require can be a little difficult due to it's programme based structure.

All-in-all, a very good book to teach students the basic Undergraduate maths required for Engineering degrees, and a good primer for those whose maths is not quite at that level. However, those looking for a reference should try Erwin Kreyszig' book ' Advanced Engineering Mathematics'.
