Engineering Mathematics covers a wide range of syllabus requirements suitable for the latest National Certificate and Diploma courses and Vocational Certificate of Education syllabuses in Engineering. It provides a foundation inmathematical principles for studentsto solve mathematical, scientific and associated engineering principles and engineering applications and mathematical principles necessary for advancement into a range of Incorporated Engineer degree profiles. Th book introduced a theory in each chapter by a simple outline of essential definitions, formulae, laws and procedures and it is kept to a minimum, for problem solving to establish and exemplify the theory. The intention is to let the readers gain real understanding through seeing problems solved and then through solving similar problems themselves. It is divided into ten topic areas and these are: number and algebra, mensuration, trigonometry, graphs, vectors, complex numbers, statistics, differential calculus, integral calculus and further number and algebra. See the following syllabuses that this book covers:

This textbook contains over 900 worked problems, followed by some 1700 further problems (all with answers). The further problems are contained within some 208 Exercises; each Exercise follows on directly from the relevant section of work, every two or three pages. In addition, the text contains 234 multiple-choice questions. Where at all possible, the problems mirror practical situations found in engineering and science. 500 line diagrams enhance the understanding of the theory.
