This book has been written to serve the mathematical needs of students engaged in a first course in engineering or technology at degree level. Students of a very wide range of these programmes will find that the book contains the mathematical methods they will meet in a first-year course in most UK universities. So the book will satisfy the needs of students of aeronautical, automotive, chemical, civil, electronic and electrical, systems, mechanical, manufacturing, and production engineering, and other technological fields. Care has been taken to include illustrative examples from these disciplines where appropriate.
