"For national/advanced level courses"--Cover

Part 1 Project-based application of engineering mathematics: body shape - approach area, leading angle, capacity; fuel system - petrol, electric; cooling system - heat transfer; brakes - drums, discs; gearbox - ratios; cylinder design - engine capacity, cylinder size, piston movement; electrics - alternator, ignition, coil; suspension - springs, dampers; transmission - drive, clutch; testing - reliability, petrol consumption, performance. Part 2 Information bank: primary skills - using formulae, using calculators and computers, rearranging formulae, radians, statistics, trigonometry, straight-line graphs, simultaneous equations (including matrices), areas, volumes and surface areas, numerical methods 1, logarithms, exponential curves, quadratic equations, differentiation 1, integration 1; secondary skills - partial fractions, complex numbers, series, binomial theorem, vectors (including determinants), differentiation 2, integration 2, numerical methods 2, maximum and minimum, differential equations, centroids, second moments of area, trigonometry 2. Part 3 Developing skills - further short projects in other engineering applications with tasks (with and without answers).

With an activity-based approach which gives a realistic context in which to follow the problem-solving routine of an engineer, this book provides a full course of study in mathematics for students following BTEC National Engineering and covers all the NII and NIII objectives.
