2007-08-24 can be a great resource at times, despite it weakness in areas

Hi,

To be honest both the 'Engineering Mathematics' and this volume 'Advanced Engineering Mathematics' can be useful for revision of principles due to it stripped-bare style. Often the lack of explicit theory that is needed with pure can be helpful as the bare bones are exposed for examination.

For example in 'A.E.M', the section on 'Power Series', 'Vector Analysis (1-2-3)' and 'Complex Analysis (1-2-3)', the latter in regards to 'Greens Theorem' & 'Cauchy Theorem' sections with their concise, bare-bones definitions is a model of clarity.

I say this and accept the real need for more supporting theory which is missing in these volumes. So large areas cannot be logically fully justified, and notice vast area of Math syllabus is missing. Say 'Mechanics' as a topic in its own right self must have a bearing in Engineering topics? So the user of this work relies maybe too much on `doing' rather than in-depth knowledge? But I can find that in other works, so if you accept this, it's still helpful to have a browse through both of these volumes, even if it's just to refresh you memory. Also it still great value for money.
