Opis

There are a lot of textbooks for mechanics - why another one?
Because reading this book should be fun - but as a side effect the reader should also learn the basics of mechanics without suffering to much Or to say it more officially: The scope of the textbook is to teach mechanics by means of simple examples from everyday life instead of sophisticated scientific approaches. The examples, supported by a lot of cartoons, should help to learn by associations and practical experiences. Many exercises with solutions garanty to pass exams successfully. A similar book has not existed before - the terms "mechanics" and "fun" have always been contradictious. Besides students from the disciplines of mechanical or electrical engineering, civil engineering, physics, and chemistry also practitioners will enjoy reading this book.

Recenzje

"Auf Englisch, mit viel Witz und so mancher auflockernder Zeichnung beweisen die Autoren, dass die Grundlagen der Statik, Elastostatik und Kinetik ganz und gar nicht so trocken sind, wie wir immer dachten."

O autorze

Dr. Nikolaus Hinrichs and Dr. Oliver Romberg received their Ph.D.'s in mechanical engineering from the University of Hannover. Besides research activities in this special area they were teaching Mechanics over a period of more than 10 years. They are quite aware of the problems when Mechanics and Students meet. Today Dr. Hinrichs is European Patent and Trademark Attorney, Göttingen. Dr. Romberg works as project manager in space technology, Bremen.

Blurb

The ultimate companion in the classical horror discipline of engineering science! Contents of the book are the basics of mechanics as treated in engineering and physical sciences: Statics, Elastostatics, Kinematics & Kinetics in unconventional, humorous presentation with many cartoons, funny explanations and a chapter containing several exercises with detailed solutions.
