Basic Engineering Mathematics

Unlike most engineering maths texts, this book does not assume a firm grasp of GCSE maths, and unlike low-level general maths texts, the content is tailored specifically to the needs of engineers. The result is a unique book written for engineering students that takes a starting point below GCSE level. Basic Engineering Mathematics is therefore ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, especially for those who find the theoretical side of mathematics difficult.

Now in its fifth edition, Basic Engineering Mathematics is an established textbook, with the previous edition selling nearly 7500 copies. All students that require a fundamental knowledge of mathematics for engineering will find this book essential reading. The content has been designed primarily to meet the needs of students studying Level 2 courses, including GCSE Engineering, the Diploma, and the BTEC First specifications. Level 3 students will also find this text to be a useful resource for getting to grips with essential mathematics concepts, because the compulsory topics in BTEC National and A Level Engineering courses are also addressed.

Numerous worked examples supported by 600 worked problems and 1050 further problems within exercises included throughout the text. Additionally, there are 15 assignments included at regular intervals.

Free instructor's manual available for download, which includes solutions to assignments.

Basic Engineering Mathematics is an excellent book for review or for those looking for a very well organized and step by step instruction in engineering math. The book is very easy to read through and can definitely be used as a supplement resource too. With that said, there is one flaw; The answer key possesses several incorrect answers here and there. I have broken down each problem as far as it could go to verify and I have had several engineers do the incorrect problems only to reach the same answer I reached. While unseemly, it does force you to look closely at every problem to make sure it is solved correctly.

Engineering Mathematics

Mathematics is a key element in determining success for the Edexcel BTEC National Engineering courses. Updated for the 2010 BTEC Nationals in Engineering syllabus, Engineering Mathematics, 6e by John Bird covers the main elements of mathematics in the core, mechanical and Electrical/ Electronic Units. There are currently over 13,000 BTEC National Engineering students in the UK.

Theory is introduced in each chapter by a simple outline of essential definitions, formulae, laws and procedures. This new, sixth edition will also be supported with online tutor support materials. These include an Instructors Guide which will give full solutions and marking schemes for each of the Revision Tests contained in the text.

Electrical and Electronic Principles

This book is written for the 6,000 BTEC National Engineering students who follow the electrical pathway each year.  The course has a brand new syllabus for 2010 and Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology has been fully updated to reflect these changes.

In this 4th edition, John Bird introduces electrical principles and technology through examples rather than theory covering - enabling level three students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed for careers in electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications.

The book includes numerous worked problems, multiple-choice and short-answer questions, exercises and revision tests and is supported with free online instructor's and solutions manuals. 

• Matched to the latest 2010 BTEC Engineering syllabus
• Student-friendly approach with numerous worked problems, multiple-choice and short-answer questions, exercises and revision tests
• In colour and supported with free online instructor's and solutions manuals

"[This book gives] information in a concise and accurate way and presents most of the information in 'worked example' form. This allows you to get your teeth into the subject without having to first of all wade through lots of over elaborate theory. An excellent 'dip' and learn book."

Higher Engineering Mathematics

John Bird's approach, based on numerous worked examples and interactive problems, is ideal for students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, and can be worked through at the student's own pace. Basic mathematical theories are explained in a straightforward manner, being supported by practical engineering examples and applications in order to ensure that readers can relate theory to practice. The extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal text for a range of university degree modules, foundation degrees, and HNC/D units.

Now in its sixth edition, Higher Engineering Mathematics is an established textbook that has helped many thousands of students to gain exam success. It has been updated to maximise the book's suitability for first year engineering degree students and those following foundation degrees. This book also caters specifically for the engineering mathematics units of the Higher National Engineering schemes from Edexcel. As such it includes the core unit, Analytical Methods for Engineers, and two specialist units, Further Analytical Methods for Engineers and Engineering Mathematics, both of which are common to the electrical/electronic engineering and mechanical engineering pathways. For ease of reference a mapping grid is included that shows precisely which topics are required for the learning outcomes of each unit.

Buy This Book

When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent “grand design” of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion—or does science offer another explanation? In this startling and lavishly illustrated book, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most recent scientific thinking about these and other abiding mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by brilliance and simplicity.

According to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history. The authors explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the early universe, and show how quantum theory predicts the “multiverse”—the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature.

They conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a “theory of everything”: the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, which, if confirmed, would represent the ultimate triumph of human reason.
