Basic Engineering Mathematics (2nd ed)

A wide range of courses have an intake that requires a basic, easy introduction to the key maths topics for engineering" Basic Engineering Mathematics is designed to fulfil that need. Unlike most engineering maths texts, this book does not assume a firm grasp of GCSE maths, yet unlike low-level general maths texts the content is tailored for the needs of engineers.

The result is a unique text written for engineering students, but which takes a starting point below GCSE level.

The textbook is therefore ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and especially for those who find the theoretical side of mathematics difficult. John Bird's approach is based on numerous worked examples, supported by 525 worked problems and followed by 925 further problems.

The content has been designed to match current level 2 courses such as Intermediate GNVQ, Level 2 NVQs, and City & Guilds certificates.

In particular this book covers the maths component of Applied Science and Mathematics for Engineering (Intermediate GNVQ); Mathematics for Engineering (Intermediate GNVQ); Mathematics 1 (C&G Technician Certificate in Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering). Level 3 students who struggle with their maths will also find this book particularly useful.

With this in mind, all topics within the compulsory unit of the Advanced GNVQ, Applied Mathematics for Engineering, are included. Free support pack containing worked solutions to the problems is available upon request.

Material is only available to lecturers who have adopted the book as essential purchase.
