... This is one of the reasons Engineering Maths is so popular as incomplete explanations often hinder learning more than help.
The one thing I would stress is that this book really can only be considered as the first half of a two part set. I don't know about other Engineering courses but ... Read review

Advantages: Great Value, Very clear, easy to understand, You can pass exams, earn more money, buy more beer Disadvantages: You might not find it useful but everyone I know does
As someone studying for an engineering degree this book has proved invaluable. it starts at the basic components of A-Level Mathematics and works it way through a large portion of the maths needed for a first year engineering course. The book is divided into programmes so it works similarly to a lectured course. it directs the reader to answer certain questions and achieve the correct answers before progressing. it seems like an overly-simplistic ... ...syllabi required for use in engineering capacities.

As an Engineering student I own several maths text books but this beauty is by far the best. This book differs from most maths textbooks in that it is easy to read and understand. It is designed for people who use maths.. but not "true mathematicians" .. which is why its so great!! If you're really awesome at maths (550+ / 600 in Further Maths without working) you could probably cope with something harder and poncier! If you see maths ... ...student planning on doing an Engineering degree BUY this to help you with your A-levels. With some aptitude anyone could easily teach themself A-level \ Further Maths with this book (the pure modules anyway P1 to P6)
The book cuts out the information that you don't need and introduces new concepts and theories clearly and progressively. Many degree level math books just plunge you in the deep end and show you no mercy! ...

Advantages: Comprehensive, cheap, easy to use, understandable Disadvantages: little on Matrices or Matrix manipulation.
...maths student. If your an Engineering student, Chemist, Physicist, Cybernetician etc etc this book is perfect for you. It contains vast amounts of useful and accessible knowledge. What I mean by accessible is that this book requires no prior research. It takes topics and breaks them down into constituent parts and takes you through very slowly. Asking you little questions throughout and giving you the answers. It then moves on to the more complex ... ...may need things like;
Advanced Engineering Mathematics : Stroud
Modern Engineering Mathematics : James
Or something specifically for your course.
One thing I would say though is that if your trying to learn a topic it will take you a while and this book has no chapters on Matrices, but they are easy anyway and that sort of info can be found reliably online easily. ...

Advantages: Clear, concise, yet remarkably challenging. It's like having a personal tutor Disadvantages: Those with superior maths/further maths skills may find it less helpful
As a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering student at UCL I have found this textbook to be the most useful textbook in my study and revision arsenal.
Although engineers are required to cover and learn a great deal of math concepts, they must more importantly be able to apply them in everyday problems with confidence. This is where this particular book is heads and shoulders above the rest.
Instead of assuming that the reader is already a master of all ... ...In doing this, the chapters also concentrate on the core principles and cut-away the less relevant issues regarding specific topics.
Just like a personal tutor, the book sets out goals at the beginning , checks on them at various stages throughout the topic chapter (with challenges along the way) and reviews the findings at the end to see if the personal goals have been met successfully. If not, it will quickly refer you to the pages that will be ...

My son is Thomas the Tank Engine mad and wanted more or less every Thomas thing he could find for Christmas. You name it, he wanted it! So I knew he would be happy with what ever we decided to get him. We considered the various Thomas sets, as all... more
This is where it all started. The starter set was my son's first exposure to Thomas the Tank Engine - First things first - there are at least 5 different styles of Thomas toys - none which interact with each other so sticking to 1 type would be... more
