Basic Engineering Mathematics

Unlike most engineering maths texts, this book does not assume a grasp of GCSE maths, and unlike low-level general maths texts, the content is tailored to the needs of engineers. The result is a GCSE level. Basic Engineering Mathematics is, therefore, ideal for students of theoretical side of mathematics difficult.

Now in its fifth edition, Basic Engineering. Mathematics is an established textbook, with the previous edition selling nearly 7500 copies. All students that require the essential knowledge of mathematics. The 2 levels, including GCSE Engineering, the Diploma, and the BTEC First specifications. Level 3 students will also be able to find the essentials in BTEC National and A Level Engineering courses are also addressed.

. Numerous worked examples supported by 600 worked problems and 1050 more problems within exercises included in the text. Cia, there are 15 assignments included at regular intervals.
. Free instructor's manual for download, which includes solutions to assignments.
