I should like to thank my former colleagues in the School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at South Bank University who supported and encouraged me with my attempts to re-think approaches to the teaching of engineering mathematics.

I should like to thank all the reviewers for their comments and the editorial and production staff at Elsevier Science.

Many friends have helped out along the way, by discussing ideas or reading chapters. Above all Gabrielle Sinnadurai who checked the original manuscript of Engineering Mathematics Exposed, wrote the major part of the solutions manual and came to the rescue again by reading some of the new material in this publication. My partner Michael has given unstinting support throughout and without him I would never have found the energy.
