(1) Applied Mechanics for Engineers (2) Machines—Outils, Outillage, Verificateurs

Abstract

(1) THIS book is intended to be a text-book for engineering students during the first year of their course, and the examples selected to illustrate the principles discussed are, therefore, mainly such as are likely to be met with in practical engineering work. To facilitate the working out of the numerical problems, of which there are nearly 300 scattered through the book, the author has printed in the form of five appendices a series of tables including hyperbolic functions, logarithms of numbers, trigonometrical functions, squares, cubes, square roots, conversion tables, &c. it is very problematic as to how often such tables incorporated in a text-book are of use to the student—it is much more convenient for him to have a small thin book of mathematical tables, and there are several such books now available, which he can carry about with him in his pocket, and refer to whenever calculations have to be made.
