This text has been designed to provide full coverage for the new four units of maths in the Engineering GNVQ (Mandatory, Optional and 2 x Additional), and as such it offers a complete primer for students seeking university entrance. The author’s approach, based on numerous worked examples supported by problems, is suitable for students of a wide range of abilities and can be worked through at the students own pace. New material in this second edition includes chapters on: simultaneous and quadratic equations; transposition of formulae; logarithmic equations; graphical solution of equations; implicit and logarithmic diferentiation; binomial and poisson distributions; normal distributions; and probability.
