If formulas have always been your nemeses, this book is for you! Thoroughly practical and authoritative, this book brings together, in three parts, thousands of formulas, rules, and figures to simplify, review, or to refresh the user's memory of what he/she studied in school. This desktop reference shows how to solve every kind of math and physics problem you're likely to encounter in school and business, and it explains simply and easily how to find answers fast, learn key formulas and definitions, study quickly and learn more effectively--from fundamental mathematical rules to physical definitions and constants.
- Presents all formulas, rules, and definitions precisely, simply, and clearly.
- Covers metric units of measurement, U.S. units of measurement (USCS), tables of equivalents metrics and USCS units.
- Reviews the fundamentals of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and analytical geometry.
- Presents the application of differential equations and integral calculus.
- Solves problems concerning simple interest, compound interest, effective rate, annuity, amortization of loans, and sinking fund payment.
- Shows the comparative advantages of binomial distribution, standard distribution, Poisson distribution, and normal distribution.
- Includes most used definitions and formulas of kinematics, dynamics, statics, mechanics of fluids, thermal variable of state, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, light, and basic definition of atomic and nuclear physics.
- Offers most used fundamentals of physical constants.
With more than 35 years of experience in applied engineering in the aircraft and automotive industries, Vukota Boljanovic has performed extensive research in development and manufacturing engineering, including the impact of design modification on tools, dies, and processes selection, aircraft assembly and inspection. He received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and worked in Europe in both academia and industry -- as a Professor of Aerospace Engineering and as Vice President for Research and Development for an aircraft company where he oversaw industry and government funded research on a variety of manufacturing topics. The author of four books, including Sheet Metal Forming Processes and Die Design (Industrial Press, 2004), Die Design Fundamentals third edition (Industrial Press, 2005), and numerous technical papers, Boljanovic has been recognized by the aircraft industry and academia for several of his contributions to manufacturing processes.! Before recently retiring in Knoxville, Tennessee, he spent five years working in the American automotive industry.
