Amazing book - By: Katy, 05 Jul 2010 
Perfect for anyone who needs an idiots guide to maths. Explains everything from the earliest stage & progresses to more advanced stages. Good as explains seemingly complex ideas simply.
Clear, with plenty of exercises to reinforce learning - By: M. F. Cayley, 05 Jun 2010 This is a superb book introducing some key mathematical techniques. The first third or so covers basics of arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry & elementary calculus. The rest focuses largely on more advanced calculus, equation-solving & techniques usefulin data analysis. Explanations are clear, with plenty of exercises, to which answers are given with expositions of the workings by which they are reached.
The emphasis is very much on the aspects of maths useful to engineers & practical physicists. Those who want a broader groundingin mathematics will need to supplement the book with others covering their areas of interest. In its coverage of the chosen branches of maths, the book is excellent.
A good textbook on Mathematics - By: J. Head, 10 May 2010 I was fortunate to be taught Mathematics by Dexter Booth on my Electronic Engineering HND at the University of Huddersfield way backin 1991 where the earlier third edition by K. Stroud alone, was a recommended text. I'd failed A level mathematics which is why I was on the HND instead of the degree & was quite nervous about what to expect at the time however this book, & Dexter Booth's teaching enabled me to get to grips with the subject & do well. The book breaks down each areain to a number of problems with solutions that you gradually work through picking up information slowly but surely & is very simple to follow. The mathematics shownin the book is presentedin a way relevant to Engineers, i.e. the simple basic methods of getting things done, rather than the head-in-the-clouds approach more suitable for physics undergraduates! I've still kept my third edition books of Engineering Mathematics, Further Engineering Mathematics, & Laplace Transforms justin case I need to refer to them again! It's good to see a single complete volume now available.
A Definite Essential! Buy it! - By: CompSci, 21 Feb 2010 This book has rescued the mathematical aspects of my degree. If you've forgotten A-level maths then the first few chapters are a great revision tool. A step-by-step guide to solving nearly any type of mathematical problem with loads of examples & answers with workings out. It's a must buy for any engineering/science orientated undergraduate. Computer Scientists definitely need it.
Good - By: Eng student, 16 Feb 2010 This book is really complete for a first year undergraduate engineering student. Moreover a reference for second & third year & probably formal engineer. I would recommand this book to any student taking an Aerospace,Mechanical,Civil,Medical....engineering degree.
