Mathematics for Technicians was developed to motivate engineering students to see the relevance of mathematics to their future careers. For this seventh edition, Vincent Kelly uses his extensive practical engineering experience to build on the strengths of this essential and inspiring well-known text. Practical topics and examples will help to equip students with a sound working knowledge of the elementary mathematics they require to succeed in the many engineering projects they will work on.

The author has also aligned the text with the requirements of TAFE engineering subject units. To achieve this, the following changes have been made:

• Chapters 17 and 18 have been revised. Chapter 17 now concentrates on circular functions and Chapter 18 focuses on trigonometric functions and phase angles
• The material on determinants and matrices in Chapter 23 has been extended to more thoroughly cover the solution of simultaneous linear equations using matrices, including the solution of three equations with three unknowns
• A new chapter (Chapter 24) on statistics and probability has been added
• Supplementary material previously supplied on a CD is now available on the Online Learning Centre (OLC) and includes additional exercises
