MATHEMATICS FOR ENGINEERS (V2)

This second volume in our series is intended primarily as a companion text for the second semester mathematics preliminaries for students and lecturers of electrical engineering and other engineering disciplines.

In a clear and concise manner, and without too much abstraction, it introduces students to the topics covered in the basic mathematics lectures. Volume 2 also provides students at universities and applied universities with a largely accurate, but always illustrative, presentation as a practical aid to entry into higher mathematics.

Mathematical concepts are clearly motivated, systematically equated and visualized in many animations. Mathematical proofs are almost completely avoided. Instead, many applications not only support the application of mathematics, but also contribute to a better understanding of mathematics.

Contents:

• Integral Calculus
• Taylor Series
• Differential Calculus for Multivariable Functions
• Positive Definite Matrices
• Integral Calculus for Multivariable Functions
• First-Order Differential Equations
• Laplace Transform

Readership: Undergraduate students of a technical discipline, students of engineering disciplines, lecturers for basic mathematics.

Professor Thomas Westermann studied Mathematics and Physics at the University Konstanz, Germany, with Diploma degree in mathematics. The focus of his studies was on applied mathematics. He received his doctorate in computational physics. Since then he has been Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computer Simulation at the University of Applied Sciences, Karlsruhe.For his didactic concept with Maple, the author was awarded the G A Müller Prize and he received the Teaching Prize of the State of Baden-Württemberg also for his didactically outstanding textbooks.
