Originally published in 1926, this informative and detailed
textbook is primarily aimed at university students studying applied
mathematics for a science or engineering degree and contains a
large number of useful examples to work though. Basic knowledge of
elementary dynamics is assumed throughout, as is a working
knowledge of differential and integral calculus. Answers can be
found at the back of the book, as well as a summary of the methods
of solution of the equations contained. Examples are mostly
collected from a variety of past university and college examination
papers, and notably rigid dynamics has been confined to
two-dimensional motion and omissions have been made to all
reference of moving axes. Covering the topic in its entirety, this
book gives a panoramic overview of the subject and will be of
considerable value to anyone with a keen interest in mathematics
and engineering, as well as the history of education.
Originally published in 1917, as the second edition of a 1912
original, this textbook presents a detailed and contained
introduction on statics written by renowned professor and author S.
L. Loney (1860-1939). Primarily aimed at undergraduate students of
science, engineering and mathematics, this book considers statics
from the very beginning and assumes only elementary prior knowledge
of the ordinary processes of the differential and integral calculus
and in some articles the notions of solid geometry. Multiple
examples are presented throughout and are intended to be useful for
students of varying capacity. Chapter titles include, 'Centre of
gravity', 'Stable and unstable equilibrium' and 'Thin spherical
shells and solid sphere'. Multiple diagrams are included for
reference. This accessible book provides an ideal and inspiring
introduction to statics and will be of great value to specialists
in the field as well as to anyone with an interest in the history
of education.
