‘Bird’s Engineering Mathematics 9th Edition’ coversa wide range of syllabus requirements. The text is suit-able for any course involving engineering mathematics,and in particular for the latest National Certificate andDiploma courses and City & Guilds syllabuses inEngineering.This text will provide a foundation in mathematicalprinciples, which will enable students to solve math-ematical, scientific and associated engineering prob-lem. In addition, the material will provide engineeringapplications and mathematical principles necessary foradvancement onto a range of Incorporated Engineerdegree profiles. It is widely recognised that a student’sability to use mathematics is a key element in deter-mining subsequent success. First year undergraduateswho need some remedial mathematics will also find thisbook meets their needs.In Bird’s Engineering Mathematics 9thEdition, chaptershave been re-ordered, examples and problems whereengineering applications occur have been ‘flagged up’,new multiple-choice questions have been added to eachchapter, the text has been added to and simplified,together with other minor modifications.Throughout the text, theory is introduced in each chap-ter by an outline of essential definitions, formulae, lawsand procedures. The theory is kept to a minimum, forproblem solving is extensively used to establish andexemplify the theory. It is intended that readers will gainreal understanding through seeing problems solved andthen through solving similar problems themselves.For clarity, the text is divided into eleven topic areas,these being: number and algebra, trigonometry, areasand volumes, graphs, complex numbers, vectors, differ-ential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations,further number and algebra and statistics.
