In Engineering, Construction, and Science examinations, marks are often lost through carelessness or from not properly understanding the mathematics involved. When there are only a few marks on offer for a part of a question, there may be full marks for a right answer and none for a wrong one, regardless of the thought that went into the answer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to avoid losing these marks by improving the clarity both of your mathematical work and your mathematical understanding, then \u003cstrong\u003eEssential Maths for Engineering and Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e is the book for you.We all make mistakes; who doesn't? But mistakes can be avoided when we understand why we make them.
