Features: This book consists of 14 chapters, divided into 4 units. Unit 1 covers determinants, matrices, and their operations, elementary transformations of matrices and linear equations, linear dependence of vector sets, similar matrices, and quadratic forms. Unit 2, as an application of Unit 1, discusses the graphical method and simplex method for linear programming, as well as the dual simplex method. Unit 3, as the foundation for Unit 4, covers event probability, random variables and their distributions, and the digital characteristics of random variables. Unit 4 discusses the fundamental concepts of mathematical statistics, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression analysis, introducing methods and procedures with broad applications. This book fully considers the difficulties faced by beginners in learning engineering mathematics, elaborating on the practical significance of basic concepts, important formulas, and theorems from multiple perspectives, providing numerous examples across various fields. Targeted thought-provoking questions are included to inspire beginners to think more deeply, aiming for clear, concise, and easy-to-understand explanations. This book is suitable for undergraduate programs with limited study hours, with the four units being relatively independent. Students from different majors and levels can flexibly select certain units or all of them. Chapters marked with an asterisk () and appendices are available for majors with higher mathematical requirements. Each chapter includes exercises, with more challenging problems accompanied by hints or answers. The book concludes with two appendices and seven supplementary tables.
