By David ReidThe subjects treated in this book are those commonly required in mechanical and marine engineering, including naval architecture. The formulae are graduated to cover the subjects at all stages from technician level to degree, from cadet level to Extra First Class Certificate. Inevitably some specialised or favourite formulae will have been omitted, so after each subject a few blank pages have been provided to allow extra formulae and design data to be recorded. 210x141mm 268pp Pb.
