Mathematical Methods for Science Students

by G. Stephenson

This well-known and widely recommended textbook provides an essential basis of mathematical techniques for engineers, physicists, chemists and management scientists at undergraduate level. The material is suitable for the first two years of a typical University or Polytechnic course, and it is developed assuming only an elementary knowledge of pre-University mathematics. The text includes a large number of worked examples, and there is a selection of unworked problems at the end of each chapter.

[George · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book for scientists and engineering undergraduates to learn the maths they need. It is *not* a mathematician's book - it has no proofs and theorems - it is a book for people who want to use maths to solve real problems.

It is similar in style to Boas' book and covers very similar ground but in a slightly different way. I slightly prefer Boas, but used both books as an undergraduate because they complemented each other - if I didn't understand something in one book, then I probably understood it in the other.

The most important thing about this book is that it has many worked examples and it has copious exercises *with answers* - this is vitally important when learning maths.
