Excerpt from Resistance of Materials for Beginners in Engineering

The chief feature which distinguishes this volume from other American textbooks on the same subject is that the Principle of Moments is used consistently throughout in place of the usual calculus processes. By basing the work on this principle it has been found practicable to give a simple and obvious treatment of many topics for which the calculus is usually thought to be indispensable, such as the calculation of moments of inertia, the deflection of beams, the buckling of columns, and the strength of thick cylinders. Experience has shown conclusively that the average engineering graduate, and even the practicing engineer, is deficient in the ability to apply the Principle of Moments readily, but when thus used as the central and coordinating principle, it must necessarily make an indelible impression on the mind of the student and go far toward remedying this deficiency.
