Description
By providing a clear and non-intimidating foundation in mathematics, this text sets out to develop engineering students' ability to handle basic mathematics with confidence. For use either as a self-teaching text or to accompany a lecture course, this book encourages mathematical understanding and develops manipulative skills through many worked examples, self-tests questions and exercises. This second edition includes many small improvements throughout the text and a new chapter on sets and probability providing the background to a course on statistics.
