Engineering Mathematics

Product Information

John Bird is currently a Senior Instructional Officer at the School of Marine and Air Engineering at H. This makes it ideal for students from a wide range of academic backgrounds as the student can work through the material at their own pace.

He has recently retired from lecturing at the Defence College of Marine Engineering in the Defence College of Technical Training at H. Mathematical theories are explained in a straightforward manner, supported by practical engineering examples and applications to ensure that readers can relate theory to practice. He is a chartered engineer, a chartered mathematician, a chartered scientist and a Fellow of three professional institutions. This extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal book for a range of university degree modules, foundation degrees, and HNC/D units.

John Bird's approach is based on numerous worked examples, supported by 525 worked problems and followed by 925 further problems. He is a chartered engineer, a chartered mathematician, a chartered scientist and a Fellow of three professional institutions, and is currently lecturing at the Defence School of Marine and Air Engineering in the Defence College of Technical Training at HMS Sultan, Gosport, Hampshire, UK. Some terminology that may be used in this description includes: Poor A book with significant wear and faults. The book contains plenty of examples and problems with practical tutor resources online too, which include tests and sample answers. Now in its eighth edition, Bird's Basic Engineering Mathematics has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams.

A wide range of courses have an intake that requires a basic, easy introduction to the key maths topics for engineering - Basic Engineering Mathematics is designed to fulfil that need. Some 1,000 engineering situations/problems have been ‘flagged-up’ to help demonstrate that engineering cannot be fully understood without a good knowledge of mathematics.Biography: John Bird, BSc (Hons), CEng, CMath, CSci, FIMA, FIET, FCollT, is the former Head of Applied Electronics in the Faculty of Technology at Highbury College, Portsmouth, UK. Engineering Mathematics is a comprehensive pre-degree maths text for vocational courses and foundation modules at degree level. K. The school, which serves the Royal Navy, is one of Europe s largest engineering training establishments. It starts with a basic review of fractions decimals percents, runs through engineering notation and transposing formulas, all the way (many chapters later) to calculus and differential equations. Higher Engineering Mathematics has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams by developing problem-solving skills, It is supported by over 600 practical engineering examples and applications which relate theory to practice.
