Excerpt from Elements of Mechanics: Forty Lessons for Beginners in Engineering

Mechanics is the science that treats of forces and of their effects. Archimedes, a celebrated mathematician and engineer, announced some of its fundamental prin ciples about 250 b.c., and these were greatly extended by Galileo and Newton in the seventeenth century. Mechanics is the foundation of modern engineering, and works on applied mechanics treat mainly of engineering problems. The principles and methods set forth in this elementary volume are the foundation of all branches of applied mechanics.
