Science and Mathematics for Engineering Why is knowledge of science and mathematics important in engineering? Acareerinanyengineeringfieldwillrequirebothbasicandadvancedmathematicsandscience.Withoutmathematics andsciencetodetermineprinciples,calculatedimensionsandlimits,explorevariations,proveconcepts,andsoon, there would be no mobile telephones, televisions, stereo systems, video games, microwave ovens, computers, or virtually anything electronic. There would be no bridges, tunnels, roads, skyscrapers, automobiles, ships, planes, rocketsormostthingsmechanical.Therewouldbenometalsbeyondthecommonones,suchasironandcopper,no plastics, no synthetics.In fact,society wouldmostcertainlybe less advancedwithoutthe use ofmathematicsand sciencethroughoutthecenturiesandintothefuture. Electricalengineersrequiremathematicsandsciencetodesign,develop,test, orsupervisethemanufacturingand installationofelectricalequipment,components,orsystemsforcommercial,industrial,military,orscientificuse.

Aerospace engineers require mathematics and science to perform a variety of engineering work in designing, constructing, and testing aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft; they conduct basic and applied research to evaluate adaptabilityofmaterialsandequipmenttoaircraftdesignandmanufactureandrecommendimprovementsintesting equipmentandtechniques. Nuclearengineersrequiremathematicsandsciencetoconductresearchonnuclearengineeringproblemsorapply principlesandtheoryofnuclearsciencetoproblemsconcernedwithrelease,control,andutilisationofnuclearenergy andnuclearwastedisposal. Petroleum engineers require mathematics and science to devise methods to improve oil and gas well production anddeterminetheneedfornewormodifiedtooldesigns;theyoverseedrillingandoffertechnicaladvicetoachieve economicalandsatisfactoryprogress. Industrialengineersrequiremathematicsandsciencetodesign,develop,test,andevaluateintegratedsystemsfor managingindustrialproductionprocesses,includinghumanworkfactors,qualitycontrol,inventorycontrol,logistics andmaterialflow,costanalysis,andproductioncoordination. Environmental engineers require mathematics and science to design, plan, or perform engineering duties in the prevention,control, and remediationof environmentalhealth hazards, using variousengineeringdisciplines;their workmayincludewastetreatment,siteremediation,orpollutioncontroltechnology. Civilengineersrequiremathematicsandscienceinalllevelsincivilengineering–structuralengineering,hydraulics and geotechnical engineering are all fields that employ mathematical tools such as differential equations, tensor analysis,fieldtheory,numericalmethodsandoperationsresearch. Knowledgeofmathematicsandscienceisthereforeneededbyeachoftheengineeringdisciplineslistedabove. It is intended that this text – Science and Mathematics for Engineering – will provide a step by step approachto learningfundamentalmathematicsandscienceneededforyourengineeringstudies.
