Synopsis
Mathematics play a central role in the life of every scientist and engineer, from the earliest school days to late into the college and professional years. While the subject is met with enthusiasm or reluctance, depending on individual taste, all are required to learn it to some degree. This book spans a large range of topics, from basic arithmetic and algebra to calculus and Fourier transforms, and bridges the gap between high school and college. The heart of the book is the conveying of a meaningful understanding of where mathematical results originated, with a lesser emphasis on the formal proof of each statement. Thus, it is ideal for undergraduates studying math, chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and related subjects. Also, its informal and readable tutorial style make it appropriate for the novice, while its very concise nature will insure that it is a useful reference for the experienced professional.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
