Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineers' ManualThis work originated from the conception that the practicing engineer or engineering student would welcome a consolidation of the formulas and constants for which he is accustomed to Search through several volumes and that the application Of each formula might be explained more concisely than in texts devoted exclusively to the process Of derivation. With this end in view those engineering formulas, mathematical operations and tables Of constants which appear to be most useful are presented in systematic order and in a Size of book designed to fit the pocket.Each formula is preceded by a statement in which its appli cation, the symbology Of the involved physical quantities and definite units of measurement are indicated. It is believed that this method Of presentation increases the speed of selection and understanding of a desired formula and insures greater accuracy Of substitution Since data units of any kind may be converted into specified units by reference to the table of conversion fac tors. The sequence Of the formulas is based generally upon their order Of derivation so that the understanding of a formula may be enlarged by inspection of the formulas which precede it. All catchwords, symbols and formulas are printed in full face type and each formula or group of formulas is numbered to facili tate reference to the text or cross reference between formulas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
