Synopsis

Revised, expanded, and extremely comprehensive, this best-selling reference is almost like having your own personal tutor. You proceed at your own rate and any difficulties you may encounter are resolved before you move on to the next topic. With a step-by-step programmed approach that is complemented by hundreds of worked examples and exercises, "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" is ideal as an on-the-job reference for professionals or as a self-study guide for students. It uses a unique technique-oriented approach that takes the reader through each topic step-by-step. It features a wealth of worked examples and progressively more challenging exercises. It contains Test Exercises, Learning Outcomes, Further Problems, and Can You? Checklists to guide and enhance learning and comprehension. The expanded coverage includes new chapters on Z Transforms, Fourier Transforms, Numerical Solutions of Partial Differential Equations, and more Complex Numbers. It also includes a new chapter, Introduction to Invariant Linear Systems, and new material on difference equations integrated into the Z transforms chapter.

About this title

Review

'[E]ntirely fit for purpose.' - Times Higher Education Supplement

'Stroud is by far and away the best text book for engineering maths. It is excellent for students to use on their own to reinforce what they have seen in class.' - Ester Norton, City College Norwich, UK

'This is quite simply the BEST text in the area' - Justin Whitty, University of Central Lancashire, UK

'I recommend this book for self study by students due to the "step by step" approach.' - Alan Crocker, University of the West of England, UK

Current reviews of the previous edition from amazon.co.uk:

'This book is essential for undergraduates studying an engineering degree course. Stroud's books fill a vast deficit found in most higher level maths text books, i.e. his books fill in procedural gaps other text books assume will be filled in while attending lectures. Stroud does not 'assume', he teaches...'

'This book is extremely useful...[It] has well written and easy to follow chapters on many different areas. To back this up it has useful examples for each section building up from simple cases to more complex exam style questions. This book really is excellent. If you get one maths book for engineering, get this one.'

'To anyone who is about to undertake, or is indeed in the middle of any engineering degree, this book is a must. The layout and style are cleverly designed to keep you working through the chapters. Don't do engineering without a copy.'
