Sinopsis

Excerpt from Principles of the Mechanics of Machinery and Engineering, Vol. 2 of 2: Applied Mechanics

IN writing this, the second volume, I have adhered as closely as possible to my views of what the work should be, as explained in the preface to the first volume.

I am aware that these views are not adopted by all who are capable of judging in the matter, and that a more general and mathematical treatment of the subject would have been preferred by many. But I have now long experience in teaching to fall back upon, and am thereby convinced, that the comparatively elementary style adopted as it can be followed by those who have not made extensive mathematical acquirements, will more surely lead to the introduction of applications of Mechanical Science in the routine practice of engineers, than the more general methods of treating these subjects have done.
