Science and Mathematics for Engineering, 6th Edition, is an introductory textbook designed to teach essential scientific knowledge and mathematical principles to trainee engineers. Published in 2020 by Routledge, this edition aligns with the compulsory science and mathematics units found in revised engineering course specifications.
The volume covers core areas including applied mathematics, mechanical applications, electrical applications, and engineering systems. Subjects addressed within these divisions range from basic arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry to mechanics, thermal principles, and electric circuits.
Assuming no prior background in engineering, the textbook prepares students for examinations through practical engineering examples. To reinforce fundamental laws and principles, the text integrates more than 580 worked examples.
