Since the publication of the third edition of "Engineering Mathematics", considerable changes in syllabuses and options for A level qualifications in mathematics have been introduced nationally, as a result of which students with various levels of mathematical background have been enrolling for undergraduate courses in engineering and science. These changes have lead to the need for learning materials aimed at different levels. This text therefore includes ten programmes which act as an introduction to "Engineering Mathematics" and is designed for those students approaching the subject for the first time.
This book is the reason I have a third level qualification. What a revelation to find that it is possible to explain complex mathematics in a way that anyone can understand. Unlike pretty much every Maths book I had encountered up to that point, this book made me want to read more. It is also the reason I ended up teaching maths from time to time. Mr Stroud showed me how it should be done.
