Description
Book SynopsisGlyn James was most recently Emeritus Professor in Mathematics at Coventry University and was previously Dean of the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences at Coventry University. He had an active interest in mathematics education and was a past chairman of the Education Committee of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and a member of the Royal Society Mathematics Education Subcommittee. In 1995 he was chairman of the Working Group that produced the report Mathematics Matters in Engineering on behalf of UK professional bodies in engineering and mathematics. He also co-edited five mathematics books and was a member of the advisory boards for three international journals. Sadly, Glyn James passed away in October 2019 during the production of this edition; his enthusiastic input was sorely missed, but this and its companion text Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics remain a fitting legacy.
