A.J.M. Spencer: Engineering Mathematics, Volume $\text { I }$

Published $\text {1977}$, Van Nostrand Reinhold

Summary

Often referred to as Spencer et al, this work was written as a collaboration of nine: A.J.M. Spencer, D.F. Parker, D.S. Berry, A.H. England, T.R. Faulkner, W.A. Green, J.T. Holden, D. Middleton and T.G. Rogers.

From the preface:

"Each chapter was first drafted by one or two authors, read and checked by several others, and then discussed and amended until a mutually agreed version was produced. The text is therefore a truly collaborative effort; no part of it is the sole work of any individual, and we share responsibility for the whole."

Be that as it may, Spencer's name is the first on the list.
