Présentation de l'éditeur
I jW herever the teaching of mathematics to engineering students 0is discussed, and frequently in cases of other classes of students, the criticism which is almost without exception the most insistent is this: that the student leaves the course without adequate ability to apply his mathematical knowledge. This means that he has not the faculty of taking a problem, giving it an analytic formulation, and interpreting the analytic results. It is an open question whether it is the duty of the teacher of mathematics, or of the teacher of the more technical work which involves mathematics, to supply the needed training, but usually the mathematician is glad at least to share the responsibility and to do whatever he can to make his work fruitful, fully conscious of the fact that if he can successfully make the contact of his subject with the problems of the laboratory, of the engineering office, and of other activities, he will thereby add immensely to the vitality and interest of his work. With such a motive, it has been the practice at the University of Missouri to follow the course in sophomore calculus with several weeks in applications to mechanics, this being a subject rich in the kind of material desired. The present book is a formulation of the work there attempted, and it is believed that the need at our institution which has called the book into being will make its appearance welcome to a large number of mathematical departments. Opinions will differ as to the subject-matter which such a book should contain. The authors were guided by the feeling that it was practice in applying calculus rather than a broad knowledgeS ee, for instance, the reports of the joint meeting of mathematicians and engineers held inC hicago, December, 1907, under the auspices of the Chicago Section of the American Mathematical Society. These reports appeared inS cience during the

Applications of the Calculus to Mechanics (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, covering statics and dynamics, introduces readers to the fundamental principles that govern objects at rest and in motion. It sets a solid foundation for further study in Applied Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics, and an array of scientific and engineering disciplines. The author presents, from basic notions, vector operations, and equilibrium under the action of concurrent forces, to the more complex concepts of particle dynamics, work, energy, and rigid body mechanics. The essence of the book lies in its thorough mathematical treatment. The book is an essential guide for engineering and physics students, as well as scientists and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanics that underlie the physical world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330320570_0
