Sinopsis
Excerpt from Engineering Applications of Higher Mathematics, Vol. 1: Problems on Machine Design
Perry's pioneer work, and the so-called Perry Movement for teaching mathematics in a practical way, will forever remain important monuments in the history of engineering education. Like many other pio neer works, Perry's Calculus proved to possess some de feets when used as a regular textbook, and several similar works by other writers followed it (see Appendix).
This book differs from that of Perry and his followers in two respects.

Excerpt from Engineering Applications of Higher Mathematics, Vol. 1: Problems on Machine Design
While it may seem incredible that mechanic arts should be taught anywhere in the ridiculous way described above, yet it is a fact that mathematics is most universally taught to engineering students in a similar fashion, without any correlation whatever with their profession. The student is first filled with analytics and calculus, as if he expected to become a pure mathematician. Then, very little of this mathe maties is used in the engineering courses, partly be cause the students find it very difficult to follow, and partly because many professors of engineering them selves have not enough grounding in mathematics to feel at ease in it and to make it interesting and attrae tive to their students. The case is somewhat similar to that of modern languages. The engineering facul ties insist that students shall acquire proficiency in French and German, while the students know perfectly well that most of their teachers never read foreign books or magazines. The old saying about the mote and the beam in the eye involuntarily suggests itself.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the practical applications of higher mathematics in engineering. It explores the use of calculus and analytic geometry in various areas of machine design, a field that was experiencing rapid development in the early 20th century. The author uses a unique approach, focusing on engineering topics rather than purely mathematical functions, to illustrate how mathematical concepts can solve real-world engineering problems. The book is structured in a way that makes the subject accessible to engineers who may not have a strong foundation in higher mathematics, providing detailed explanations and numerous examples. The author criticizes the traditional method of teaching mathematics to engineering students, arguing that it often leads to a disconnect between theory and practice. This approach echoes the ideas of John Perry, a noted British engineer and educator, who championed a more practical approach to teaching mathematics to engineers. The book aims to bridge this gap, demonstrating the relevance of advanced mathematical tools in solving engineering problems. This engaging and instructive volume offers invaluable insights into the crucial role mathematics plays in the design and construction of complex mechanical devices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330364680_0
