Engineering mathematics : a foundation for electronic, electrical, communications and systems engineers

Engineering Mathematics is the leading undergraduate textbook for courses in electrical and electronic engineering, systems and communications engineering. It is aimed primarily at Years 1 and 2.Key features of the book:Integrates engineering and mathematics through an applications-focused treatmentCarefully develops, in a single comprehensive volume, the foundation and advanced mathematical techniques most appropriate to students of electrical, electronic, systems and communications engineering, including: algebra, trigonometry and calculus, as well as set theory, sequences and series, Boolean algebra, logic and difference equations The relevance of mathematics is illustrated through a diverse range of examples, providing motivation for students of all abilitiesClear, comprehensive explanations written in an accessible and user-friendly styleIncludes a thorough treatment of integral transform methods essential for the modern, professional engineer, particularly the Laplace, z and Fourier transformsAll topics are illustrated with a substantial number of fully worked examples and exercises with solutions, enabling students to practise, develop and test their knowledge.The fourth edition has been revised to include:new sections on the applications of  number bases, summation notation, the sinc x function, waves, polar curves and the discrete cosine transforma new Engineering Application feature, showcasing an extensive range of applied examples, including music technology, sustainable engineering and digital image processing.Anthony Croft is Professor of Mathematics Education at Loughborough University.Robert Davison was formerly Head of Quality at the Faculty of Technology, De Montfort University.Martin Hargreaves is Principal Lecturer in the Faculty of Technology at De Montfort UniversityJames Flint is Senior Lecturer in Wireless Systems Engineering at Loughborough University.
