Published April 2009
A complete entry level mathematics book based on the phenomenally successful approach of the bestselling Engineering Mathematics by the same authors. This book is designed to help students embarking on a wide range of higher education courses to improve their mathematics to the required standard.
Published February 2007
Engineering Mathematics is by far the bestselling book of its kind with well over half a million copies sold. Widely recommended by lecturers it is also a huge word-of-mouth seller. Its unique programmed approach takes the student through the mathematics in an interactive, step-by-step fashion with a wealth of worked examples and exercises. It is the most comprehensive course of its type. This carefully revised sixth edition has an even more user-friendly page design. The accompanying Personal Tutor CD-ROM has been revised and improved. New for this edition are a series of applications questions freely accessible on a companion website.

'The unique quality of this book is the wealth of examples applying the mathematical techniques taught here. These examples span mechanics, aerodynamics, electronics, engineering, fluid dynamics and other areas of applied mathematics. These are not just the usual examples involving differential equations and equations of motion, but real and thoughtful applications that will be relevant to the student.' - Jill Russell, Open University

From best-selling author Donald McQuarrie comes his newest text, Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers. Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry, physics, maths and engineering, this book is essential reading for all advanced students in the physical sciences. Comprised of more than 2000 problems and 700 worked examples that detail every single step, this text is exceptionally well adapted for self study as well as for course use. Famous for his clear writing, careful pedagogy, and challenging problems and examples, McQuarrie has crafted yet another tour de force.

This text, written by best-selling author Donald McQuarrie, is meant to keep doors open to undergraduate and even graduate chemistry students who need a quick review of the mathematical methods that are used throughout chemistry. It is the outgrowth of a collection of "MathChapters" from McQuarrie's famous texts, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach and Quantum Chemistry Second Edition. These “MathChapters,” now available to all, provide students with concise reviews of mathematical topics, discussing only the minimal amount that students need to know. By reading these reviews before the mathematics is applied to physical chemical problems, a student will be able to spend less time worrying about the math and more time learning the physical chemistry. This book can also be used as a supplement with any traditional textbook on physical or quantum chemistry.

This text presents calculus with solid mathematical precision but with an everyday sensibility that puts the main concepts into clear terms. It contains features such as graphical insights that enhance the student's visual understanding, section summaries to summarize key points, and exercise sets which are closely coordinated with the text.
Published April 2007
Assuming no prior mathematical knowledge, this approachable and straightforward text covers the essential mathematical skills needed by business and management students at undergraduate and MBA level. Clare Morris uses a clear and informal narrative style with examples, painlessly leading the reader through fundamental mathematical principles.

This text is suitable for students taking a one-semester introductory course in discrete mathematics, particularly those studying Computing and Informations Systems. It presents the essential mathematics needed for computing in a style suitable for students with only a moderate background in the subject. Material is introduced at a gentle pace and in an informal style, without compromising mathematical integrity. The text includes many examples of how the theory is applied to problems in computing. This third edition includes: a new expanded section on encryption additional examples to illustrate key concepts new exercises at a variety of levels
Statistics
Published February 2009
An authoritative and balanced presentation of all the major topics in statistics, featuring supportive pedagogy, real-world applications and an emphasis on technology. The organization and design of the 5th edition has been revised, the content updated to reflect the latest research.
Published March 2008
With its focus on data analysis, statistical reasoning, and the way statisticians actually work, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics has helped to revolutionize the way statistics is taught in the classroom and brings the power of critical thinking and practical applications to your course. Freed from an overload of computations, students are able to go beyond the raw numbers to see what the data actually means. The fifth edition benefits from a new author, a significant number of new exercises and several changes that make the text more student-friendly.
