Book Description
This important new edition provides a complete course for first
year Engineering Mathematics, which is taught to most engineering
students including mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics,
systems, aeronautical and chemical engineers.
Available with this text will be a CD-based testing and assessment
package, with interactive multi-choice, multi-answer and hot-spot
questions that allow students to test their understanding of the
key topics. Ideal for reinforcing learning during the course or
pre-examination revision, all questions will provide detailed
student feedback on-screen, and also direct students to the
relevant section or page in the text for further study.
A networkable version of the CD for use in diagnostic assessment
is also available for purchase by university departments.
