Book Description

Excerpt from Mathematical and Physical Tables for the Use of Students in Technical Schools and Colleges This set of tables embodies in a compact form useful mathematical tables and the more important formulae and constants required in the teaching of mathematics and physics. The tabulation of formulae and constants gives to the student a more comprehensive and less confused idea of the instruction he receives throughout his two or three years of study, besides providing him with a necessary work of reference for the Physical, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Laboratories and the Mathematical Class room. The tables should therefore become a constant companion to the student of Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering. The student of Chemical Physics will find a number of the tables of especial value. Considerable pains have been taken to obtain correct data, but since a large number of constants have still to be determined, blanks in the tables are unavoidable. These we hope gradually to fill up, either by availing ourselves of the experiments of others or those made in our own laboratories. Although not specially designed for the use of candidates for examinations, we believe that the tables will be of assistance to students, especially those in the classes of the recently instituted course of practical mathematics of the science and art department.
