Further Engineering Mathematics: Programmes and Problems by K. A. Stroud (1989 Over-sized Soft Cover)

• Author:   Kenneth Arthur Stroud (1908–2000)

• Publisher:   Springer Verlag New York, Inc. New York, NY U.S.A. 1989

Key features:

• A unique technique-oriented approach takes the student through the mathematics in a highly accessible way

• Comprehensive coverage of all topics required by undergraduates at the advanced levels of mathematics used in engineering and science

• Hundreds of worked examples, with progressively more challenging exercises

• Ideal either as part of a course or for self-study

Each of the 19 programmes guides the student through the development of a particular topic, with numerous worked examples leading to student responsibility to answer as mastery is achieved. Each section ends with 1) a Revision Summary of the main points, 2) Test Exercise, and 3) a set of Further Problems to develop the student's success and competence. Answers to all problems, ToC, and Index, xvii + 1074pp,

Kenneth Arthur Stroud (1908–2000) was a mathematician and Principal Lecturer in Mathematics at Lanchester Polytechnic in Coventry, England. He is most widely known as the author of several mathematics textbooks, especially the very popular Engineering Mathematics. His major titles include Foundation Mathematics, Engineering Mathematics and Advanced Engineering Mathematics.

Stroud was an innovator in programmed learning and the identification of precise learning outcomes.

Nigel Steele calls his textbook Engineering Mathematics, based on the programmed learning approach, "one of the most successful mathematics textbooks ever published."

Notes on Condition/Edition ratings:

Fine – means like new, but any book produced over 10 years ago isn't “brand new” or even “new.”  Booksellers needed some word to describe this...

Like New – A new book, no marks no damage (except maybe remainder marks or shelf-wear) except not obtained directly from the publisher or in packaging from the publisher.

Very Good – How you or I might take care of a book, closer to “as new” than standard. Might show ownership.

Good – How someone else might take care of a book. Also referred to as “standard.” This is the most likely condition for books of this age & title, shows the book has been read or previously owned.

Acceptable – How a child, student or a librarian might take care of a book. (Either trying to make sure someone doesn't steal it by plastering ownership everywhere, filled it with copious notes or a book that has been damaged.)

Poor – Combination of “acceptable” factors above. Most likely with water damage as well. Might have

missing pages (you should ask).

Near – Means “almost” in an optimistic sense. e.g., “Near Fine” means very good, but on the high end.

1^st Thus – Unique somehow, maybe 1^st paperback, new illustrator, misprint or even the 1^st edition. A collector

might desire this copy.
