Master graphical methods for engineering problems and physical calculations

In this classic resource, you’ll learn how to combine calculation with visual techniques to solve problems in mensuration, statics, and dynamics. The book shows how to represent quantities, forces, and motions with precise drawings and simple rules, helping you see solutions in a new way.

This edition guides students through the essentials of graphical arithmetic, vectors, stress diagrams, and work, with practical examples drawn from engineering contexts. It emphasizes using graphics as a reliable partner to calculation, not a replacement, and explains how to read and construct figures that correspond to real-world problems.

Foundations of scalar and vector quantities and how to represent them to scale
Techniques for drawing and interpreting stress diagrams and link polygons
Step-by-step methods for resolving forces, moments, and work graphically
Practical exercises that connect theory to engineering scenarios and experiments

Ideal for students of engineering, physics, or applied mathematics who want a hands-on approach to problems involving geometry, forces, and motion. It’s well suited for readers who benefit from seeing problems illustrated as they are solved.
