This book provides a solid mathematical background for engineers, especially those working in telecommunications. Although it was originally written for officers in the U.S. Army's Telecommunications Systems Engineering Course (FA 24 TSEC) at Fort Gordon, Georgia, the broad and eclectic range of material and fully-explained exercises will make it a useful text not only for engineers but for anyone wanting to sharpen their mathematical skills or increase their knowledge.

A variety of basic and more advanced topics are covered: exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; probability theory and random variables; matrix algebra; information theory and coding; wave theory; queueing theory; number theory and cryptography; and graph theory and algorithms. The book assumes the reader has some exposure to college mathematics (especially calculus), but it also includes a chapter on basic concepts (including high school math) and appendices reviewing differential and integral calculus.
