Review
'[E]ntirely fit for purpose.' - Times Higher Education Supplement 'Stroud is by far and away the best text book for engineering maths. It is excellent for students to use on their own to reinforce what they have seen in class.' - Ester Norton, City College Norwich, UK 'This is quite simply the BEST text in the area' - Justin Whitty, University of Central Lancashire, UK 'I recommend this book for self study by students due to the "step by step" approach.' - Alan Crocker, University of the West of England, UK Current reviews of the previous edition from amazon.co.uk: 'This book is essential for undergraduates studying an engineering degree course. Stroud's books fill a vast deficit found in most higher level maths text books, i.e. his books fill in procedural gaps other text books assume will be filled in while attending lectures. Stroud does not 'assume', he teaches...' 'This book is extremely useful...[It] has well written and easy to follow chapters on many different areas. To back this up it has useful examples for each section building up from simple cases to more complex exam style questions. This book really is excellent. If you get one maths book for engineering, get this one.' 'To anyone who is about to undertake, or is indeed in the middle of any engineering degree, this book is a must. The layout and style are cleverly designed to keep you working through the chapters. Don't do engineering without a copy.'

Good Collection of Solved Problems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Paperback)
If you want a good basic collection of problems and your math book does not have solutions, this is a good place for you to start. I wish more US textbooks published the worked solutions to all of their problems. While academic types tend to disagree with this approach saying that it diminishes the student's ability to reason, I must take exception to this. Using good worked examples allows a math "consumer" (such as an undergraduate engineer) a way to build his/her confidence. Those of us working in industry do not need proofs or generic problems picked for the benefit of the teacher (with "easy" numbers or solutions that fit easily into a template). Proofs are for applied mathematicians and those working in the more theoretical areas of engineering (or doing PHD work). We need good tools and mathematics (when intelligently applied) can help us. This book tends to demystify some of the more arcane subjects for the reader.

Great for reviewing math relevant to graduate engineering studies,
By calvinnme - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Paperback)
This book is the sequel to Stroud's excellent "Engineering Mathematics", which focused on the undergraduate engineer and the math that he/she should know by graduation. This book continues on with crystal-clear discussions of numerical methods, linear algebra including the singular value decomposition and its uses, linear programming methods, multiple integration, and partial differential equations, to name a few of the topics covered. Just because the mathematics is more advanced in this book does not mean that it is any less clear than its less advanced predecessor. Stroud continues his tradition of holding your hand and leading you through every question you might have about working various types of math problems. I particularly liked his coverage of partial differential equations and numerical linear algebra topics. That is because it is hard to find advanced math books on these topics that are not written by pure mathematicians. Thus most of those books have a tendency to go overboard on proofs and not focus on the practical matters engineers must know in order to solve problems. The only negative thing I can say about the book is that it references Stroud's other book on engineering math, "Engineering Mathematics", during some of the explanations, possibly putting you at a disadvantage if you don't have it handy. I highly recommend this book as a reference every engineer should own.NOTE: For some strange reason this review of "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" is appearing under that book and also "Vector Analysis" by the same authors. This is NOT a review of "Vector Analysis", just to clear up any confusion! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

sequel to the authors' Engineering Mathematics,
By Chee Lim Cheung - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Paperback)
This is the sequel to the authors' Engineering Mathematics. It follows the same programmed instruction approach which is so effective in their earlier book. Students who like this approach and the earlier book should also own this book. It delves into more engineering mathematics topics like Laplace Transforms, 2nd-Order Differential Equations and Complex Numbers. All in all, a good book to study engineering mathematics.
