Mathematics Meets Technology (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A resource book which looks at the design of mechanisms, for example gears and linkages, through the eyes of a mathematician. There are a wide variety of examples including car steering, anglepoise lamps, bicycles, cine cameras, folding push chairs and the design of robots. Readers are encouraged to make models throughout and to look for further examples in everyday life. Suitable for GCSE, A level, and mathematics/technology/engineering courses in Further Education.
