Summary:
This package includes a physical copy of Modern Engineering Maths, 5e by James as well as access to the eText and MyMathLab Global. Your instructor will need to provide you with a course ID in order for you to access the eText and MyMathLab Global. This book provides a complete course for first-year engineering mathematics. Whichever field of engineering you are studying, you will be most likely to require knowledge of the mathematics presented in this textbook. Taking a thorough approach, the authors put the concepts into an engineering context, so you can understand the relevance of mathematical techniques presented and gain a fuller appreciation of how to draw upon them throughout your studies.
