This volume provides an introduction for pre-degree level students and technician engineers. A clear accessible text is supported by learning summaries, examples and practice questions. The book is designed to help students develop an understanding of: properties and testing of materials, the relationship of the properties and structure of materials; how properties change with modifications in composition, structure and processing, the selection of materials for a wide range of engineering applications. The second edition includes anew chapter on the identification and classification of...

This text provides a mathematics course for engineers of a wide ability range, and does not go beyond the requirements of Advanced GNVQ. It should be suitable for any pre-degree engineering course where students require revision of the basics and plenty of practice work. The key concepts are introduced through examples set firmly in engineering contexts.

The authors of Mechanical Engineering Systems have taken a highly practical approach within this book, bringing the subject to life through a lively text supported by numerous activities and case studies. Little prior knowledge of mathematics is assumed and so key numerical and statistical techniques are introduced through unique Maths in Action features.

Working through this student-centred text readers will be brought up to speed with the modelling of control systems using Laplace, and given a solid grounding of the pivotal role of control systems across the spectrum of modern engineering. A clear, readable text is supported by numerous worked example and problems.

* Key concepts and techniques introduced through applications
* Introduces mathematical techniques without assuming prior knowledge
* Written for the latest vocational and undergraduate courses

This is one of the texts in a series designed to provide engineering students in colleges and universities with a mathematical toolkit. The mathematics is developed and applied in an engineering context with worked examples and problems, all with answers being supplied,

Mathematics for Engineering has been carefully designed to provide a maths course for a wide ability range, and does not go beyond the requirements of Advanced GNVQ. It is an ideal text for any pre-degree engineering course where students require revision of the basics and plenty of practice work. Bill Bolton introduces the key concepts through examples set firmly in engineering contexts, which students will find relevant and motivating. The second edition has been carefully matched to the Curriculum 2000 Advanced GNVQ units: Applied Mathematics in Engineering (compulsory unit 5)Further...
