Mathematics for Engineers serves as a comprehensive guide on the basics of mathematics and their applications in engineering for students and seasoned professionals alike.

Mathematics for Engineers is designed to help students develop mathematical proficiencies, which are required in technical courses and careers involving strategic mathematical competence and adaptive reasoning. This volume also acts as a reference for professionals in engineering who need a refresher for their technical math skills. Through this book, students and professionals in the engineering discipline will build a capacity and expand their fundamental mathematical skills for logical thought, reflection, explanation, and justification in the field of applied science. This book is designed for general use for science and engineering students across the globe.

The book effectively compiles important information in one place alongside examples and practice problems with application and practice based questions. Emphasis is placed on the application of mathematics in appropriate context and modeling of real-world situations. By the end of this book, students and professionals in the engineering discipline will be able to present and process their mathematical reasoning and conclusions numerically, graphically, symbolically, and verbally.
