The new fourth edition retains the original
purpose which has made this book such a large success through every one of its
previous editions: to effectively help its readers solve a wide array of
mathematical problems specifically related to mechanical work. Aside from its
unique compilation of mathematical problems, this book is renowned for its
ability to duplicate, as far as possible, personal instruction. Its usefulness
as a self-learning guide for the mathematics of mechanical problems is
therefore unexcelled.
FEATURES
The entire text has been carefully reviewed
