Engineering Mechanics: StaticsSee preceding entry. This companion text for a fundamental course in statics, usually offered in the sophomore or junior year in engineering curricula, emphasizes the application of principles to the analysis and solution of problems. Assumes background in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and basic differential and integral calculus; college physics would be helpful. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
