Book Description:

Practising engineers - especially those concerned with innovation - continuously need quantitative information, especially orders of magnitude, directions and sense of values. In this loose-leaf book of convenient size (which acts as a companion to a scientific calculator) the editors have produced an open-ended collection of directly usable 'leaves'. Each leaf describes one topic, and includes definitions, units (both SI and Imperial), methods and formulae to determine values. Thus...
More DescriptionPractising engineers - especially those concerned with innovation - continuously need quantitative information, especially orders of magnitude, directions and sense of values. In this loose-leaf book of convenient size (which acts as a companion to a scientific calculator) the editors have produced an open-ended collection of directly usable 'leaves'. Each leaf describes one topic, and includes definitions, units (both SI and Imperial), methods and formulae to determine values. Thus each leaf is an aide-mémoire and as such contains the minimum text on explanation and derivation; instead it relies on graphical and diagrammatic presentation. These are fundamentally sound and not 'rule of thumb' calculations. The equations presented are suitable for incorporation into spreadsheet calculation/computing. Their access may well be quicker than trying any search on the Internet.
The format of each leaf is essentially constant, with one topic as indicated by the Title at the top of the leaf, and all symbols used are tabulated in both SI and Imperial units. The key equations are boxed and coloured yellow. The MOULTON FORMULAE and METHODS presents essential information for calculation within topics of mechanical interest.
