Product Description

Building on the foundations laid in the companion text Modern Engineering Mathematics 3e, this book gives an extensive treatment of some of the advanced areas of mathematics that have applications in various fields of engineering, particularly as tools for computer-based system modelling, analysis and design. Despite the advanced level of this text, the philosophy of learning by doing is retained, with continuing emphasis on the development of students' ability to use mathematics with understanding to solve engineering problems.

Key features of this new edition: New design in a larger format highlighting new student features. Additional graded examples and exercises. Increased emphasis on software packages, particularly symbolic algebra packages. Particular emphasis on use of MATLAB and MAPLE, with basic commands introduced and illustrated. More emphasis on numerical methods such as the treatment of finite elements. Updated Solutions Manual, a downloadable resource for lecturers.

Professor Glyn James is currently Emeritus Professor within the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences at Coventry University, having previously been Dean of the School.. As in previous editions he has drawn on the relevant knowledge and experience of his fellow co-authors to provide an excellent new edition..

5.0 out of 5 stars concise, very engineering, full answers, January 9, 2003

By	kinomotoorenji (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics (Hardcover)

It is really a great book because...

1. Concise

Before reading this book, I thought advanced mathematics was a topic which was impossible to learn by self-study. However, after I read the book a few pages, I became confidence in self studing it as I could successfully did the examples as well as the exercises by my own.

The book uses examples + detail explanations to teach many concepts. If there is any subtlety, the book must explain for you. Besides teaching the maths. concept, it also suggests how to handle the maths. equations in a more clever ways.

2. very engineering

Many examples are the real engineering problems. Also, each chapters have at least one section for 'Engineering Application' which includes the topic about chemical processing, heat transfer, wave propagation, capacitor microphone, AC circuits analysis,... You never ask 'why I need to learn it?' because the entire book continuously shows you the application of each mathematical tools immediately after you learnt it. I feel very 'realistic' when I read the book because the book extends the mathematics beyond a paper!

3. Full answers

Each chapter has about 30 to 60 exercises (NOT include examples) which have FULL ANSWERS! (except for the questions of proof) From very simple, to test your understanding, to very complicated one, to test you skill on solving REAL problems, are also included. The exercieses makes me well in understanding the concepts, and also the fluency in handling mathematics.

I think it is not the best maths. book in the world. However it really makes me stop to find the best maths. book in the world~!
