This course is about the basic mathematics that is fundamental and essential component in all streams of undergraduate studies in sciences and engineering. The course consists of topics in differential calculus, integral calculus, linear algebra and differential equations with applications to various engineering problems.

This textbook contains over 1000 worked problems, followed by some 1750 further problems (all with answers). The further problems are contained within some 220 Exercises; each Exercise follows on directly from the relevant section of work, every two or three pages. In addition, the text contains 238 multiple choice questions. Where at all possible, the problems mirror practical situations found in engineering and science. 500 line diagrams enhance the understanding of the theory. At regular intervals throughout the text are some 18 Revision tests to check understanding. For example, Revision test 1 covers material contained in Chapters 1 to 4, Revision test 2 covers the material in Chapters 5 to 8, and so on. These Revision Tests do not have answers given since it is envisaged that lecturers could set the tests for students to attempt as part of their course structure. Lecturers’ may obtain a complimentary set of solutions of the Revision Tests in an Instructor’s Manual available from the publishers via the internet –see below. A list of Essential Formulae is included in the Instructor’s Manual for convenience of reference. Learning by Example is at the heart of Engineering Mathematics 5th Edition.
