Colour layout helps navigation & highlights key learning points formulae & exercises Fully up-to-date with Levels 2 & 3 of the BTEC Engineering Specifications Containing 1000 worked problems 1750 further problems & 238 multiple-choice questions & answers Real-world situations & engineering examples put the theory into context John Bird's approach to mathematics based on numerous worked examples supported by problems is ideal for students of a wide range of abilities. Theory is kept to a minimum with the emphasis firmly placed on problem-solving skills making this a thoroughly practical introduction to the mathematics engineering that students need to master. This book presents a logical topic progression rather than following the structure of a particular syllabus & is suitable for all Level 3 vocational students early Foundation Degree students & for any introductory course involving engineering mathematics. However the coverage has been carefully matched to the mathematics units within the 2010 Level 2 & 3 BTEC National Specifications. In this sixth edition there is new material on logarithms exponential functions vectors & methods of alternating waveforms. The book now
Includes:: even more problems to work through. ideal to be used as tests or homework full solutions to the revision tests are supplied on the accompanying instructor's website.
