Mathematics for Engineering Students: Analytical Geometry & Calculus by S. S. Keller & W. F. Knox - PDF
About this book :-
"Mathematics for Engineering Students" by Samuel Smith Keller is a classic textbook designed to build a strong foundation in applied mathematics for aspiring engineers. Originally developed for technical schools, this book focuses on real-world applications of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and early calculus. All essential for engineering problem-solving.
Keller’s approach is clear, structured, and practical. Each concept is introduced with straightforward explanations and supported by problems rooted in everyday experiences and engineering scenarios. Unlike abstract math texts, Keller’s work prioritizes utility, helping students understand how mathematical principles directly apply to their field. The book is divided into focused volumes, covering topics such as "Plane and Solid Geometry", "Algebra and Trigonometry", and "Analytical Geometry and Calculus".
Ideal for engineering students, self-learners, or anyone seeking a historical yet useful resource, this book bridges foundational math with technical application. While some methods may feel dated, the clarity and relevance remain valuable. "Mathematics for Engineering Students" is more than a textbook — it’s a timeless tool for mastering the math that powers engineering.
