MATHEMATICS
THE CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS. A PRACTICAL TREATISE FOR
BEGINNERS, ESPECIALLY ENGINEERING STUDENTS. With over 400 Examples,
many of them fully worked out. By ROBERT GORDON BLAINE, M.E.,
Assoc.M.Inst.C.E. Lecturer at the City Guilds' Technical College,
Finsbury, London, E.C. Author of "Hydraulic Machinery," "Lessons in
Practical Mechanics," "The Slide Rule," etc. Crown 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
net.
The difficulties which beset the beginner are fully explained,
and the principles of the differential and integral calculus, and
differential equations, are clearly set forth in the simplest
language; each rule being illustrated by practical examples.
Applications of the calculus to problems in engineering and
physics form a feature of the work, which concludes with an
up-to-date chapter on Harmonic Analysis, of special interest to
electrical engineers and students of electro-technics.
ENGINEERING
ENGINEERING WORKSHOPS, MACHINES AND PROCESSES. By F. ZUR NEDDEN.
Translated by JOHN A. DAVENPORT. With an Introduction by SIR A. B.
W. KENNEDY, LL.D., F.R.S., M.Inst.C.E., M.Inst.M.E. Plates. Demy
8vo. 6_s._ net.
A handbook of workshop practice for the young engineer. It fills
a gap in our books for the practical training of engineers.
MACHINE DESIGN. By CHARLES H. BENJAMIN, Professor of Mechanical
Engineering in the Case School of Applied Science. Numerous
Diagrams and Tables. Demy 8vo. 8_s._ net.
Prepared primarily as a text-book, but containing mainly what the
writer has found necessary in his own practice as an engineer. As
far as possible the formulas for the strength and stiffness of
machine details have been fortified by the results of experiments
or by the practical experience of manufacturers.
THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE: Being a Text-Book on Gas, Oil, and
Petrol Engines, for the use of Students and Engineers. By H. E.
WIMPERIS, M.A., Assoc.M. Inst.C.E., Assoc.M.Inst.E.E. Illustrated.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._ net.
