This comprehensive textbook covers pre-calculus, trigonometry, calculus, and differential equations in the context of various discipline-specific engineering applications. The text offers numerous worked examples and problems representing a wide range of real-world uses, from determining hydrostatic pressure on a retaining wall to measuring current, voltage, and energy stored in an electrical capacitor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than focusing on derivations and theory, clear and accessible chapters deliver the hands-on mathematical knowledge necessary to solve the engineering problems students will encounter in their careers. The textbook is designed for courses that complement traditional math prerequisites for introductory engineering courses — enabling students to advance in their engineering curriculum without first completing calculus requirements. Now available in enhanced ePub format, this fully updated second edition helps students apply mathematics to engineering scenarios involving physics, statics, dynamics, strength of materials, electric circuits, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgement viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Straight Lines In Engineering 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Vehicle during Braking 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Voltage–Current Relationship in a Resistive Circuit 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Force–Displacement in a Preloaded Tension Spring 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Further Examples of Lines in Engineering 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Quadratic Equations In Engineering 31\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 A Projectile in a Vertical Plane 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Current in a Lamp 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Equivalent Resistance 36\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Further Examples of Quadratic Equations in Engineering 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Trigonometry In Engineering 61\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Introduction 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 One-Link Planar Robot 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2.1 Kinematics of One-Link Robot 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2.2 Inverse Kinematics of One-Link Robot 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Two-Link Planar Robot 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3.1 Direct Kinematics of Two-Link Robot 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3.2 Inverse Kinematics of Two-Link Robot 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3.3 Further Examples of Two-Link Planar Robot 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Further Examples of Trigonometry in Engineering 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Two-Dimensional Vectors In Engineering 107\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Introduction 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Position Vector in Rectangular Form 108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Position Vector in Polar Form 108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Vector Addition 111\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4.1 Examples of Vector Addition in Engineering 112\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Complex Numbers In Engineering 134\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Introduction 134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 Position of One-Link Robot as a Complex Number 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 Impedance of \u003ci\u003eR\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eL\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eC \u003c\/i\u003eas a Complex Number 136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3.1 Impedance of a Resistor \u003ci\u003eR \u003c\/i\u003e136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3.2 Impedance of an Inductor \u003ci\u003eL \u003c\/i\u003e136\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3.3 Impedance of a Capacitor \u003ci\u003eC \u003c\/i\u003e137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.4 Impedance of a Series RLC Circuit 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.5 Impedance of \u003ci\u003eR \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eL \u003c\/i\u003eConnected in Parallel 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.6 Armature Current in a DC Motor 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.7 Further Examples of Complex Numbers in Electric Circuits 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.8 Complex Conjugate 148\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Sinusoids In Engineering 160\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 One-Link Planar Robot as a Sinusoid 160\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Angular Motion of the One-Link Planar Robot 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2.1 Relations between Frequency and Period 164\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.3 Phase Angle, Phase Shift, and Time Shift 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.4 General Form of a Sinusoid 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.5 Addition of Sinusoids of the Same Frequency 169\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Systems of Equations In Engineering 188\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 Introduction 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 Solution of a Two-Loop Circuit 188\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.3 Tension in Cables 193\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.4 Further Examples of Systems of Equations in Engineering 196\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProblems 210\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Derivatives In Engineering 223\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.1 Introduction 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.1.1 What Is a Derivative?
