Now in its sixth edition, Higher Engineering Mathematicsis an established textbook that has helped many thousands of students to gain exam success. K. More recently, he has combined freelance lecturing at the University of Portsmouth, with technical writing and Chief Examiner responsibilities for City and Guilds Telecommunication Principles and Mathematics. The textbook is therefore ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and especially for those who find the theoretical side of mathematics difficult. He is a chartered engineer, a chartered mathematician, a chartered scientist and a Fellow of three professional institutions.

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. Lecturers can access the solutions and marking schemes to the revision tests in the book, as well as all of the illustrations used in the book, which can be downloaded for use in the classroom.John Bird , BSc (Hons), CEng, CMath, CSci, FIMA, FIET, FCollT, is the former Head of Applied Electronics in the Faculty of Technology at Highbury College, Portsmouth, UK.

Some 1,300 engineering situations/problems have been 'flagged-up' to help demonstrate that engineering cannot be fully understood without a good knowledge of mathematics.More recently, he has combined freelance lecturing at the University of Portsmouth with examiner responsibilities for Advanced Mathematics with City and Guilds, and examining for the International Baccalaureate Organisation. ADOPTING LECTURERS Lecturers adopting 'Higher Engineering Mathematics' as their main course text can obtain a free 150 page Instructors Manual comprising worked solutions and a mark scheme for the Assignments in the student text. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Basic mathematical theories are explained in the simplest of terms, supported by practical engineering examples and applications from a wide variety of engineering disciplines, to ensure the reader can relate the theory to actual engineering practice. In addition, 19 revision tests, which are available to use as tests or as homework are included at regular intervals.

Now in its sixth edition, Basic Engineering Mathematics is an established textbook that has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams.
