The Large Egyptian Pyramids: Modelling a Complex Engineering Project
ISBN: 9781407305462 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The building process of the Egyptian pyramids has been the subject of many publications.

The present study aims at filling this gap by means of an integrated mathematical model. Attention is focussed on the largest pyramid, the one built by Cheops. The model simulates an efficient project co-ordination...
