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 core coursework in their field of study often need additional guidance on practicing, learning, and improving their problem-solving skills for application. A Mathematics Boot Camp for Science and Engineering Students offers a solution to this issue and is 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.
