Essentials Engineering Mathematics

This book presents the essentials of a first course in Engineering Maths as simply as possible, and can be used as a supplement to a lecture course and for private study. Based on a collection of short sections specific to certain topics, the text allows students to identify subjects of interest which can be studied separately with little background reading. Each section uses many detailed worked examples to demonstrate theories and techniques. Formal proofs are kept to a minimum, and only included when absolutely necessary. Comprehensive problem sets at the end of each section are an integral part of the text and should be worked through to reinforce the understanding of the subject. Detailed answers are given to over 1300 problems. For reference, lists of mathematical formulae, standard integrals and Laplace Transform pairs are given.
