Just the math skills you need to excel in the study or practice ofengineering
Good math skills are indispensable for all engineers regardlessof their specialty, yet only a relatively small portion of the maththat engineering students study in college mathematics courses isused on a frequent basis in the study or practice of engineering.That's why Essential Math Skills for Engineers focuses ononly these few critically essential math skills that students needin order to advance in their engineering studies and excel inengineering practice.
Essential Math Skills for Engineers features concise,easy-to-follow explanations that quickly bring readers up to speedon all the essential core math skills used in the daily study andpractice of engineering. These fundamental and essential skills arelogically grouped into categories that make them easy to learnwhile also promoting their long-term retention. Among the key areascovered are:
* Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, complex arithmetic, anddifferential and integral calculus
* Simultaneous, linear, algebraic equations
* Linear, constant-coefficient, ordinary differentialequations
* Linear, constant-coefficient, difference equations
* Linear, constant-coefficient, partial differential equations
* Fourier series and Fourier transform
* Laplace transform
* Mathematics of vectors
With the thorough understanding of essential math skills gainedfrom this text, readers will have mastered a key component of theknowledge needed to become successful students of engineering. Inaddition, this text is highly recommended for practicing engineerswho want to refresh their math skills in order to tackle problemsin engineering with confidence.
