A Mathematics Boot Camp for Science and Engineering Students

Many students have difficulty applying mathematical techniques to solve problems in science and engineering, even after completing Calculus I and II. Students who are beginning the core coursework in their field of study often need additional guidance on practicing, learning, and improving their problem-solving skills for application. The objectives of A Mathematics Boot Camp for Science and Engineering Students are to offer a solution to this issue and are specifically designed to address common errors in mathematical problem-solving for undergraduate science and engineering students. Teaches readers how to apply math skills as they transition to coursework in their chosen field of study Includes strategies and recommendations for quick improvement in problem-solving skills Emphasizes the physical meanings of the problem, which helps students develop a deep understanding of their field of study Features a broad range of example problems with detailed and easy-to-follow solutions for students to learn problem-solving techniques and additional exercise problems for further practice and improvement Bridges the gap between the knowledge of mathematical techniques and the ability to apply those techniques to solve real-world problems This concise and practical text offers "basic training" in mathematical problem-solving skills for undergraduate students in science and engineering disciplines. A Solutions Manual is available to qualifying adopting professors.
