First year maths book for engineering: (1 Viewer)

[umm what]

^^^ what is the name of the book and author? Is it just one book? and Is it available in the libraries?

First year engineering; the content is same for all kinds of engineering

It will be different for different universities. There is unlikely to be one book that covers everything. All books you are prescribed to have should be in the library, while many of the recommended books will also be there in most libraries.

which book(s) unsw use?

I don't know. Look at the relevant course outline which should be able to be found online.

[Shadowdude]

even if true, how would that be any help at all?

I go to UNSW, doesn't mean I know what... say... ARTS3865's textbook is.

First year engineering; the content is same for all kinds of engineering

Your thread title said "maths", so I'll assume the question is for maths. You buy the course pack at the UNSW bookshop. The course pack includes notes attached to problems, and there's information booklet and past papers book(let). If you just want the problems, then they can be downloaded from the website (but you need to be enrolled in the course). But the notes are pretty useful, so I would recommend you buying it.

The actual textbook is not recommended, even lecturers recommend you to not buy it.

First year engineering; the content is same for all kinds of engineering

Now, if you are looking for "engineering" in general, then there's only a recommended study plan, but the content I learn may be different to the content my friend learns if we choose different subjects or electives. The maths is pretty much the only same thing in the first year, and a dodgy engineering design course. Not all streams do physics, not all streams do the same computing. Different streams have different core subjects. Different streams have different recommended electives, some overlap. In fact, there's more possibility for difference than alike for first year engineering. The content is not entirely the same "for all kinds of engineering".

So if you want to know a specific textbook for any course, you need to look at the course outline or contact the relevant student offices.

Yes no one uses the textbook for maths all you need is the course notes. If you want to start now (I recommend not to, enjoy the last of your high school days and post-HSC life) check out Chris Tisdell.
