This text will provide a foundation in mathematical principles, which will enable students to solve mathematical, scientific and associated engineering principles. In addition, the material will provide engineering applications and mathematical principles necessary for advancement onto a range of Incorporated Engineer degree profiles. It is widely recognised that a students' ability to use mathematics is a key element in determining subsequent success. First year undergraduates who need some remedial mathematics will also find this book meets their needs.

Engineers use fractions all the time, examples including stress to strain ratios in mechanical engineering, chemical concentration ratios and reaction rates, and ratios in electrical equations to solve for current and voltage. Fractions are also used everywhere in science, from radioactive decay rates to statistical analysis. Also, engineers and scientists use decimal numbers all the time in calculations. Calculators are able to handle calculations with fractions and decimals; however, there will be times when a quick calculation involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions and decimals is needed. Engineers and scientists also use percentages a lot in calculations; for example, percentage change is commonly used in engineering, statistics, physics, finance, chemistry, and economics. When you feel able to do calculations with basic arithmetic, fractions, decimals and percentages, with or without the aid of a calculator, then suddenly mathematics doesn't seem quite so difficult.

Powers and roots are used extensively in mathematics and engineering, so it is important to get a good grasp of what they are and how, and why, they are used. Being able to multiply powers together by addingtheirindicesisparticularlyusefulfordisciplineslikeengineeringandelectronics,wherequantities are often expressed as a value multiplied by some power of ten. In the field of electrical engineering, for example, the relationship between electric current, voltage and resistance in an electrical system is critically important, and yet the typical unit values for these properties can differ by several orders of magnitude. Studying, or working, in an engineering discipline, you very quickly become familiar with powersandrootsandlawsofindices.Inengineeringtherearemanydifferentquantitiestogetusedto,and hence many units to become familiar with. For example, force is measured in Newton's, electric current is measured in amperes and pressure is measured in Pascal's. Sometimes the units of these quantities are either very large or very small and hence prefixes are used. For example, 1000 Pascal's may be written as 103 Pa which is written as 1 kPa in prefix form, the k being acceptedas a symbol to represent 1000or 103. Studying, or working, in an engineering discipline, you very quickly become familiar with the standard units of measurement, the prefixes used and engineering notation. An electronic calculator is extremely helpful with engineering notation.
