Synopsis

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.
