Excerpt from Engineering Applications of Higher Mathematics, Vol. 3

The third part of the work, now offered to the pro fession, contains problems in thermodynamics of per icot gases and saturated steam. The first part con tains problems in machine design, the second part problems in hydraulics and the remaining two parts are devoted to mechanics of materials and electrical engineering respectively. Thus in using this work a student or an engineer who wishes to review calculus or analytics, or to acquire facility in applications Of higher mathematics to engineering problems, may select at first the part of the work which deals with problems in that branch of engineering with which he is most familiar, or in which he is particularly interested.

The book as a whole is not intended to bring out anything new, either in mathematical methods or in practical deductions. The author's aim was siinply to collect and to arrange in a systematic way the va rious applications of analytic geometry and of calculus, already in use. The book may be called a summary of the most common engineering applications of higher mathematics, or a mathematical cross-index to engineer ing text-books. It fulfills its purpose if it saves the teacher the trouble of consulting many engineering books for the purpose of selecting a few mathematical problems for his students. The author also hopes that the book may stimulate interest in higher mathematics among his fellow engineers and thus help to a. Better understanding of some intricate relations where at present rule of thumb prevails in design.
