This exciting new edition covers the core subject areas of arithmetic, algebra, mensuration in 2D & 3D, trigonometry & geometry, graphs, calculus & statistics & probability for Marine Engineering students for the Merchant Navy OOW qualification. Initial examples have been designed purely to practise mathematical technique &, once these skills have been mastered, further examples focus on engineering situations where the appropriate skills may be utilised. The practical questions are primarily from a marine engineering background but questions from other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, will also be covered, & reference made to the use of advanced calculators where relevant. ...

The book covers the principal topics in applied mechanics for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as the core syllabi in applied mechanics for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng & MEng degrees in marine engineering, naval architecture & other marine technology related programmes. The revised version takes into account the need of these students, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus & current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma & degree courses. Basic principles are dealt with, beginning at a fairly elemental stage, with this new edition applying the underlying principles to a shipping environment. Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, with test examples set at the end of each chapter. Other revisions include examples reflecting modern machines & practice, current legislation & current syllabi. ...
