Could anyone show me or guide me for basic engineering mathematics? Is there any online material for engineering mathematics? I do not graduate from engineering background bu t i have to deal with engineering calculations at work. Please help me out. Thanks

Basic Engineering Math: I would recommend textbook covering calculus (at least basic derivatives and integrals) as well as maybe a brief review of trigonometry.
It'll be sort of hard to learn it from a website...

While teach-yourself-texts for do-it-yourselfers have their place, this is a topic that will be tough without a good support group, but it can be done.
Depending on exactly what your needs are, you may find what you need at the links below. The Wikiversity and Wikibook sites may be a good place to start discovering what all you do and don't know. Keep in mind that these pages are ever evolving, so keep checking in often to see if new info has been added.
I haven't used it (only heard about it today actually) but Octave is supposed to be pretty good for free software. I have used MATLAB and while very powerful software, it isn't that hard to get running with a little patience. If Octave works at all as advertised, its worth the price of admission.
Look around and have fun. I hope this helps.

One great reference is the Fundamentals of Engineering Reference Guide from the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (they are the licensing authority for engineers and surveyors in the U.S.)
When an engineer signs up to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (comparable to an apprenticeship exam) they are provided this as a reference. It has most of the basic equations that engineers need in order to build their tool sets for a deeper understanding in their area of expertise.

The Navy has some great manuals on Math. You can view them here.
It teaches everything starting from 2+2 to Trig.. It's better to work the books in order though. I went through those 4 books in 3 days and passed the Nuclear Power placement test. All I had in high school was Algebra 2.

Engineering mathematics textbooks cover the gamut from trigonometry to Advanced Calculus. You may need to take a class - ask your employer about their tuition reimbursement policy.

Go to Amazon.com and order some books from the Schaums outline series. They cover all the math subjects and have applications books for all engineering subjects.
They are full of good examples and are easy to undrerstand.
(Also they will not cost you an arm and a leg)

Cant be bothered to style the maths, yet such issues as eulers equation and reynolds huge style. also such issues as 2d second of element of diverse shapes and the navier stokes equation and carnot cycle. organic mathematical stuff should be such issues as 2d order differential equations. Message me for any extra engineering suitable q's
