Description
The second edition of this successful text has been comprehensively updated and follows its predecessor in providing a compact compilation of tabulated and graphical data as well as a range of formulae and basic equations. The main branches of engineering are covered, including mathematics, materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, structures, electricity and electronics. It gathers together information which is otherwise available only from many different sources and should be a useful reference work not only for students in the various engineering disciplines but also for professional engineers and other applied scientists whose work borders on engineering. This book should be of interest to undergraduates in all engineering departments in universities and polytechnics and as a reference for practising engineers.
