Mathematics for Electrical Engineering and Computing

Mathematics for Electrical Engineering and Computing

<i>Mathematics for Electrical Engineering and Computing</i> embraces many applications of modern mathematics, such as Boolean Algebra and Sets and Functions, and also teaches both discrete and continuous systems - particularly vital for Digital Signal Processing (DSP). In addition, as most modern engineers are required to study software, material suitable for Software Engineering - set theory, predicate and prepositional calculus, language and graph theory - is fully integrated into the book.<br /><br />Excessive technical detail and language are avoided, recognising that the real requirement for practising engineers is the need to understand the <i>applications</i> of mathematics in everyday engineering contexts. Emphasis is given to an appreciation of the fundamental concepts behind the mathematics, for problem solving and undertaking critical analysis of results, whether using a calculator or a computer.<br /><br />The text is backed up by numerous exercises and worked examples throughout, firmly rooted in engineering practice, ensuring that all mathematical theory introduced is directly relevant to real-world engineering. The book includes introductions to advanced topics such as Fourier analysis, vector calculus and random processes, also making this a suitable introductory text for second year undergraduates of electrical, electronic and computer engineering, undertaking engineering mathematics courses.<br /><br /><b>Dr Attenborough</b> is a former Senior Lecturer in the School of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering at South Bank University.
