Sinopsis
Master practical nomograms with hands-on methods for fast, graphical calculation. This guide explains how to transform regular scales into logarithmic ones and how to build nomograms that handle multiplication, division, and more complex expressions. Clear steps and examples help you learn by doing, not by theory alone.
This edition presents concrete, repeatable techniques you can apply in engineering and science. It covers converting between scales, constructing two-parallel-scale and multi-parameter nomograms, and using these tools for real-world formulas. The emphasis is on usable methods and checks that keep results reliable.
- How to turn simple scales into 1-to-10 logarithmic scales and extend ranges with A, B scales.
- Ways to create nomograms for multiplication, division, and composite equations.
- Practical examples such as calculating parachute resistance, wing area, and other engineering formulas.
- Techniques for verifying accuracy and handling cases where a direct diagram isn’t enough.
Ideal for students, engineers, and anyone curious about graphical calculation tools, this book offers a structured path from basic ideas to more advanced nomogram construction.

Excerpt from A First Course in Nomography
In the present volume we shall consider In a simple manner how to construct and use nomograms for multiplication and division in formulae like the one for air pressure, as well as thenznore general methods applicable to easy algebraic and other equations. As an introduction to the nomograms for multi plication and division we shall consider first the construction and use of nomograms for addition and subtraction.

Excerpt from A First Course in Nomography
In many branches of science, in engineering practice, in technology, in industry and in military science, Nomography is a recognised means of carrying out graphical calculations. The ballistic constant in gunnery, flame temperature in the research of coal-gas combustion, the angle of twist in a thread of given thickness with a given number of turns per inch, the conversion of counts in the textile industry, can all be calculated by means of nomograms. Nomographic charts are simple and certain in use, so that calculations formerly entrusted to skilled and responsible computers can now be safely left to the care of a comparatively unskilled subordinate. It is the object of this First Course to offer a clear and elementary account of the construction and use of such charts.
The method of treatment chosen is based on experience gained in the making of nomograms for various technological departments in the University of Leeds, and in other ways. It is a treatment that should be found useful by the reader who desires to become acquainted both with the theory of nomography and with its practical use.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the field of nomography, a graphical method of calculation. With its accessible language and clear examples, the book guides readers from the fundamentals to advanced techniques. Nomography has been used for centuries to solve complex equations and simplify calculations. The author traces the development of nomography from its roots in coordinate geometry to its current applications in engineering and other disciplines. The book delves into the mathematical principles underlying nomography, including addition, multiplication, and division. It also explores more complex concepts such as simultaneous equations and the use of logarithmic scales. Through a series of worked examples, the author demonstrates how to construct nomograms for a wide range of calculations. Whether you are a student, engineer, or anyone who needs to perform complex calculations, this book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the art and science of nomography. By mastering the techniques presented in this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the mathematical relationships that govern the world around them and enhance their problem-solving skills.
