Professor Glyn James is Emeritus Professor within the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Coventry University, having previously been Dean of the School of Mathematical and Information Science.

As in previous editions he has drawn upon the knowledge and experience of his co-authors to provide an excellent revision of the book.

Synopsis:

A rigorous, applications-focused introduction to the field of Engineering Mathematics. Suitable for a first year course in the subject area, the book presents the key mathematical concepts that engineers will be expected to know. The applications focus allows the student to see the mathematics in action and helps to contextualise what they are actually learning. As such, it is also well suited to maths courses within the physical sciences and applied mathematics. Incorporates many exercises throughout the chapters so students can reinforce their learning. This edition will be accompanied by online bridging chapters refresher units in core subjects to bring students up to speed with what they'll need to know before taking the engineering mathematics course.
