This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the
essential mathematical techniques needed in the physical sciences.
Carefully structured as a series of self-paced and self-contained
chapters, this text covers the basic techniques on which more
advanced material is built. Starting with arithmetic and algebra,
the text then moves on to cover basic elements of geometry, vector
algebra, differentiation and finally integration, all within an
applied environment. The reader is guided through these different
techniques with the help of numerous worked examples, applications,
problems, figures, and summaries. The authors provide high-quality
and thoroughly class-tested material to meet the changing needs of
science students.
The book:
* Is a carefully structured text, with self-contained
chapters.
* Gradually introduces mathematical techniques within an applied
environment.
* Includes many worked examples, applications, problems, and
summaries in each chapter.
This text is an essential resource for all students of physics,
chemistry and engineering, needing to develop or refresh their
knowledge of basic mathematics. The book's structure makes it
equally valuable for course use, home study or distance
learning.
