Foundation Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists with Worked Examples covers fundamental topics in mathematics required for science and engineering disciplines. It is primarily designed to provide a comprehensive, straightforward and step-by-step presentation of mathematical concepts to engineers, scientists and general readers. It moves from simple to challenging areas, with carefully tailored worked examples of different degrees of difficulty. Mathematical concepts are deliberately linked with appropriate engineering applications to reinforce their value and are aligned with topics taught in major overseas curriculums.

This book is written primarily for students at levels 3 and 4 (typically in the early stages of a degree in engineering or a related discipline) or for those undertaking foundation degree, Higher National Certificate (HND), International Foundation Year (IFY), and International Year One (IYO) courses with math modules. It consists of seven parts:

- Basic concepts in Mathematics

- Coordinate Geometry

- Algebraic Expression and Equations

- Surds

- Indices and Logarithms

- Polynomials

- Trigonometry

Each chapter is devoted to a topic and can be used as a stand-alone guide with no prior knowledge assumed. Additional exercises and resources for each chapter can be found online. To access this supplementary content, please go to www.dszak.com.
