A First Course in Nomography (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Master practical nomograms with hands-on methods for fast, graphical calculation. This guide explains how to transform regular scales into logarithmic ones and how to build nomograms that handle multiplication, division, and more complex expressions. Clear steps and examples help you learn by doing, not by theory alone.

This edition presents concrete, repeatable techniques you can apply in engineering and science. It covers converting between scales, constructing two-parallel-scale and multi-parameter nomograms, and using these tools for real-world formulas. The emphasis is on usable methods and checks that keep results reliable.

• How to turn simple scales into 1-to-10 logarithmic scales and extend ranges with A, B scales.


• Ways to create nomograms for multiplication, division, and composite equations.


• Practical examples such as calculating parachute resistance, wing area, and other engineering formulas.


• Techniques for verifying accuracy and handling cases where a direct diagram isn’t enough.

Ideal for students, engineers, and anyone curious about graphical calculation tools, this book offers a structured path from basic ideas to more advanced nomogram construction.
