✦ Synopsis

Since this text was written primarily for engineering problems courses, the material is of freshman level. The problems are simple and include use of the slide rule, logarithms, elementary trigonometry, equations of motion and the basic principles of mechanics. Two introductory chapters give the student a preview of what is expected of him in engineering; subsequent chapters show him, through very clear examples, the types of problems he must solve as an engineer. Drill problems accompany each chapter, and the many illustrations and tables add greatly to the presentation of material. The simple style and the variety of problems make this a good freshman text.
