 SUPERB ENGINEERING BOOK!!, 2006-01-23
Now i don't normally write reviews - but i think if anything ought to be reviewed it should be this, quite easily one of the best textbooks ive ever used. I won't go in to how its gonna be the main thing helping me pass my first year at university as countless others have already done that. What i will say is this: If you're at university, doing an engineering course and you buy one maths book, buy this! Seriously. You won't regret it.
Excellent Book, 2005-10-29
This is the first book I have seen which places mathematics in an engineering context. Singh deserves praise for writing such a thorough book on what most engineering students find diffcult.
The book will be most useful to engineering students as well as other disciplines having a mathematics content. I am not surprised it has taken Singh 6 years to write this book, it clearly shows the effort.
It has a good layout and the topics are well sign posted. Each section begins with the objectives and ends with a summary and a set of exercises. The exercises are all in an engineering discipline. Also full solutions are on the book's web site which I found very useful. There are a series of on line tests on the web site but some of the maths symbols are missing.
An engineering student will find this book a great asset.
What a good book..., 2005-02-03
This book is a very worthwhile investment for undergraduate engineering students and experienced engineers alike. The layout is modern, crisp and user friendly; this combined with the refreshing approach taken by the author makes for an excellent resource for learning and quick reference. Each topic is covered adequately from transposition of formulae to differentiation; the sections start with a description of the topic, then the properties & execution, examples and a summary. The author has also included some useful tips throughout the sections. As a Consulting Engineer in the field of Building Services Engineering and a Post Grad Student I have found the reference within the worked examples to various engineering disciplines to be particularly useful, which makes reference to thermodynamics, mechanics, fluid mechanics, electrical etc. So the reader can process many different forms of the maths theory as well finding an example more compatible with their own discipline. Finally, a number of exercises are provided with solutions in the rear to enable the reader to apply what has been taught. This book is well worth the outlay !
