About this book

The book provides the reader with the necessary grounding, principally in physics which will allow them to subsequently embark on an engineering degree course. Written for the foundation year now common in many higher education institutions, Foundation Science for Engineers is the partner to 'Foundation Mathematics for Engineers'. Together they offer a complete package for the twelve month course, providing all the theory, and reinforcing it with numerous worked examples, problems and illustrations of application.
