Full syllabus match for the NEW BTEC National launching in 2001 * Comprehensive coverage for F/HE and introductory degree courses * John Bird's 'learning by example' technique is a thoroughly practical way of gaining knowledge and understanding. Engineering Mathematics contains: * 850 worked examples * 1500 problems (answers to problems included) * 100 multiple-choice questions * 18 assessment papers (answers not supplied) * Free Instructor's Manual including full worked solutions to the assessment papers Engineering Mathematics is a comprehensive pre-degree maths text for vocational courses and foundation modules. John Bird's approach, based on numerous worked examples supported by problems, is ideal for students with a wide range of abilities, and can be worked through at the student's own pace. Theory is kept to a minimum, placing a firm emphasis on problem-solving skills, and making this a thoroughly practical introduction to the core mathematics needed for engineering studies and practice. The third edition has been reorganised to present a logical topic progression through the book rather than following a particular scheme of work for one syllabus. The content has been carefully matched to the latest UK Further Education syllabuses: Advanced VIC (GNVQ): the two maths units within the new Curriculum 2000 syllabus BTEC National: compulsory and optional units of the brand new scheme launching in 2001 BTEC Higher National Engineering: the mandatory unit common to all schemes
