![]() | Foundation Mathematics for Science and Engineering Students This compact textbook provides a foundation in mathematics for STEM students entering university. The book helps students from different disciplines and backgrounds make the transition to university. Based on the author's teaching for many years, the book can be used as a textbook and a resource for lecturers and professors. Its accessibility is such that it is can also be used by students in their final year in school before university and help them continue their mathematical studies at college. The book is designed so that students will return to the book repeatedly as their undergraduate careers progress. Although compact and concise, it loses no rigour. All the topics are carefully explained meaningfully, not just presented as a set of rules or rote-learned procedures.
Professor Philip Doughty Prewett BSc (Wales), DPhil (Oxon), CPhys, FInstP, FLSW, FRSA Philip Prewett has been an academic, an industrial research engineer, a government scientist, and senior academic at leading UK University, having been Joint Head of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Birmingham University, where he is now Emeritus Professor, previously holding the Lucas Chair of MicroEngineering and Nanotechnology from 1998 until 2011. At Birmingham, he set up and chaired the Mathematics Working Group which overhauled the Mathematics teaching of his department, and also the Smart Working Group. His own teaching was focused on developing and delivering Engineering Mathematics courses, including a new first year Engineering Mathematics module. He also developed and taught second year Engineering Mathematics and fourth year Applied Mechanics, which was essentially an advanced applied vector mathematics module. He is still research active in the field of Microengineering & Nanotechnology, where his special interests are medical breath analysis for disease diagnosis and microneedle patches for mass vaccination and blood tests.
