Basic Engineering Mathematics 5th Edition introduces and then consolidates basic mathematical principles and promotes awareness of mathematical concepts for students needing a broad base for further vocational studies.
In this fifth edition, new material has been added to many of the chapters, particularly some of the earlier chapters, together with extra practice problems interspersed throughout the text. The extent of this fifth edition is such that four chapters from the previous edition have been removed and placed on the easily available website.

Basic Engineering Mathematics 5th Edition provides a lead into Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition. Each topic considered in the text is presented in a way that assumes the reader has little previous knowledge of that topic. Each chapter begins with a brief outline of essential theory, definitions, formulae, laws, and procedures; however, these are kept to a minimum as problem-solving is extensively used to establish and exemplify the theory.
It is intended that readers will gain real understanding through seeing problems solved and then solving similar problems themselves.
This textbook contains some 750 worked problems, followed by over 1550 further problems (all with answers at the end of the book) contained within some 161 Practice Exercises; each Practice Exercise follows directly from the relevant section of work. In addition, 376 line diagrams enhance an understanding of the theory. Where at all possible, the problems mirror potential practical situations found in engineering and science.
