Abstract
ALTHOUGH the author explains in his preface that this work is destined to meet the requirements of young students of engineering, still the mathematical student of mechanics would reap immense benefit from a careful study of the novel treatment presented here, and would recognize the shortcomings and unsatisfactoriness of the treatises usually put into his hands.
The Mechanics of Machinery.
