All You Wanted to Know about Mathematics but Were Afraid to Ask 2 Volume Paperback Set

An excellent toolkit for solving the mathematical problems encountered in foundation courses in physics and engineering. Helps turn dry theory into working systems. A mathematical methods course that gets results through teaching applications to a variety of real problems.

---

Together, the two volumes cover all the mathematics needed for an introductory course in the physical sciences. The approach taken is to learn through understanding real examples, showing mathematics as a tool for understanding physical systems and their behaviour. The aim is to make the student feel at home with real problems by creating a toolkit through a wide range of examples. The traditional approach of teaching theory for its own sake is not used in this course. Dr Lyons brings a wealth of teaching experience to this refreshing textbook on the fundamentals of mathematics for physics and engineering.
