Book Description

Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on the Calculus, for Engineering Students: With Numerous Examples and Problems Worked Out IT is generally admitted that there are very few books, if any, published on the Calculus which are suitable for the requirements of engineering students. Ithere are many excellent works On the subject, but, ulnfortunately, most of them are too advanced, and contain matter of a purely mathematical character than the engineering student requires. It has, therefore, aim in writing this book to put before the student as space will permit, of the subject as he may in actual practice. I have endeavoured to present matter in as Simple and practical a manner asmpossible, strating each part by examples fully worked out. To Professor J. Perry, m.e., d.sc., I am entirely the greater number of the practical problems and also for the practical way in which ansion is treated. His lines Of teaching have as far as the subject is treated, although justice ot have been done to his methods. In compiling this treatise I have consulted the works Of Oole, Todhunter and Williamson. My thanks are due to my colleagues and friends for aluable assistance rendered by way of checking examples, doc. Hints or suggestions by the reader will be considered a vour.
