Mathematical Techniques provides a complete course in mathematics, covering all the essential topics with which a physical sciences or engineering student should be familiar.
By breaking the subject into small, modular chapters, the book introduces and builds on concepts in a progressive, carefully-layered way - always with an emphasis on how to use the power of maths to best effect, rather than on theoretical proofs of the maths presented. With a huge array of end of chapter problems, and new self-check questions, the fourth edition of Mathematical Techniques provides extensive opportunities for students to build their confidence in the best way possible: by using the maths for themselves.
Key Features - Each chapter opens with a new introduction, which explains the content and aim of the chapter, and places it in context for the student
- The whole text has been reviewed with an eye on increasing clarity
- New self-check questions appear at the end of most sections to augment the end of chapter problems, giving students an additional opportunity to check their understanding
- A new appendix covers one-dimensional analysis and units
