The Mathematics Companion

Updated and expanded with new topics, this second edition presents the essential core of mathematical principles needed by scientists and engineers. It uses a unique and educational approach that is the signature style of the author¿s companion books. Starting from the basic concepts of trigonometry, the book covers calculus, differential equations, and vector calculus. A new chapter on applications discusses how we see objects "mathematically" with the eye, how quantum mechanics works, and more.
