Product Description

The philosophy of "learning by doing" is retained in this second edition with a continuing emphasis on the development of students' ability to use mathematics with understanding to solve engineering problems. Building on the foundations laid in "Modern Engineering Mathematics" this book gives an extensive treatment of some of the more advance fields of engineering, particularly as tools for computer-based system modelling, analysis and design.

From the Back Cover

Building on the foundations laid in the companion text Modern Engineering Mathematics 3e, this book gives an extensive treatment of some of the advanced areas of mathematics that have applications in various fields of engineering, particularly as tools for computer-based system modelling, analysis and design.

Despite the advanced level of this text, the philosophy of learning by doing is retained, with continuing emphasis on the development of students' ability to use mathematics with understanding to solve engineering problems. Key features of this new edition:

• New design in a larger format highlighting new student features

• Additional graded examples and exercises

• Increased emphasis on software packages, particularly symbolic algebra packages.  Particular emphasis on use of MATLAB and MAPLE, with basic commands introduced and illustrated

• More emphasis on numerical methods such as the treatment of finite elements

Updated Solutions Manual, a downloadable resource for lecturers

Professor Glyn James is currently Emeritus Professor within the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences at Coventry University, having previously been Dean of the School.

As in previous editions he has drawn on the relevant knowledge and experience of his fellow co-authors to provide an excellent new edition.

Customer Reviews

Excellent book
If you are an engineering professional and you don't remember too much of the maths from University, this is the right book. It will not explain basic maths, but it will be much easier for an engineer to understand the course of the books, because the goal of the book is not pure maths. This is the reason you will find in it all the material regarding Laplace, Fourier and Z transforms, engineering aplications from different fields, numerical methods (for computer simulation), control theory and also some advanced statistics (e.g. for testing a system).

Very Good
As a third year engineering undergraduate, I find this book very useful and somewhat easier to follow than Kreyszig. It is very readable, which makes it easy to dip in and out of topics that I'd otherwise ignore. Very good on Fourier series and transforms; I prefer the treatment in here to most other textbooks that I've used.

Would recommend to any engineering undergrad.
