S. L. Loney

An Elementary Treatise on the Dynamics of a Particle and of Rigid Bodies

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
