This sixth edition of ‘Higher Engineering Mathematics’ covers essential mathematical material suitable for students studying Degrees, Foundation Degrees, Higher National Certificate and Diploma courses in Engineering disciplines. In this edition the material has been ordered into the following twelve convenient categories: number and algebra, geometry and trigonometry, graphs, complex numbers, matrices and determinants, vector geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, statistics and probability, Laplace transforms and Fourier series. New material has been added on logarithms and exponential functions, binary, octal and hexadecimal, vectors and methods of adding alternating waveforms. Another feature is that a free Internet download is available of a sample (over 1100) of the further problems contained in the book.
The primary aim of the material in this text is to provide the fundamental analytical and underpinning knowledge and techniques needed to successfully complete scientific and engineering principles modules of Degree, Foundation Degree and Higher National Engineering programmes. The material has been designed to enable students to use techniques learned for the analysis, modelling and solution of realistic engineering problems at Degree and Higher National level. It also aims to provide some of the more advanced knowledge required for those wishing to pursue careers in mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, electronics, communications engineering, systems engineering and all variants of control engineering.
In Higher Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition, theory is introduced in each chapter by a full outline of essential definitions, formulae, laws, procedures etc. The theory is kept to a minimum, for problem solving is extensively used to establish and exemplify the theory. It is intended that readers will gain real understanding through seeing problems solved and then through solving similar problems themselves. Access to software packages such as Maple, Mathematica and Derive, or a graphics calculator, will enhance understanding of some of the topics in this text.
Each topic considered in the text is presented in a way that assumes in the reader only knowledge attained in BTEC National Certificate/Diploma, or similar, in an Engineering discipline. ‘Higher Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition’ provides a follow-up to ‘Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition’. This textbook contains some 900 worked problems, followed by over 1760 further problems (with answers), arranged within 238 Exercises.
Some 432 line diagrams further enhance understanding. A sample of worked solutions to over 1100 of the further problems has been prepared and can be accessed free via the Internet (see next page). At the end of the text, a list of Essential Formulae is included for convenience of reference. At intervals throughout the text are some 19 Revision Tests (plus two more in the website chapters) to check understanding. For example, Revision Test 1 covers the material in Chapters 1 to 4, Revision Test 2 covers the material in Chapters 5 to 7, Revision Test 3 covers the material in Chapters 8 to 10, and so on.
An Instructor’s Manual, containing full solutions to the Revision Tests, is available free to lecturers adopting this text (see next page). Due to restriction of extent, five chapters that appeared in the fifth edition have been removed from the text and placed on the website. For chapters on Inequalities, Boolean algebra and logic circuits, Sampling and estimation theories, Significance testing and Chi-square and distribution-free tests (see next page).
