Description
Book SynopsisMathematics plays a key part in every quantitative and theoretical subject, and is taught to all science and engineering students. Foundations of Science Mathematics bridges the gap between school and university, and spans a large range of topics, from basic arithmetic and algebra to calculus, Fourier transforms, and elementary data analysis. Problems and worked solutions are presented in an informal and readable tutorial style, making the text accessible to the novice, while its concise nature ensures that it is a useful reference for the experienced professional.The first edition primer and its companion ''Worked Problems'' workbook are combined in this new edition, and a new chapter on data analysis has been added to ensure the book remains as comprehensive and useful to students as possible.
Trade ReviewThe answers to the worked examples are superb, very instructive, and include detailed sketches. * Dr Athanasia Dervisi, Cardiff University *
There is a selection of worked examples in a chemistry context which help students to apply maths more efficiently in their chemistry modules. * Dr Gita Sedghi, University of Liverpool *
Excellent, concise coverage of basic algebra. * Prof Scott Woodley, University College London *
