Customer Reviews

A Giecks best friend
There is a reason this book is hardback: This is the most overused book I have ever bought. It has all the formulas you can't be bothered to commit to memory without becoming "Janet and Jill do Engineering". It's well laid out to boot.
My last copy (1990) just died and the new edition is even better.

A good reference to take on the road.
This book is a good general reference for the technical professional who travels. A good variety of formulas and commonly referenced data makes this useful to someone who has experience solving problems, but just forgot the formula. There is little explaination of the subject matter, so it has limited use to the uninitiated. Still, the unit conversions, area formulas and good coverage of mathematics makes it valuable to the person who only occasionally has to make simple calculations. It also should sufficiently intimidate anyone who might think that solving engineering problems is fun and easy. The numerous, well scattered blank pages are useful for writing in your own formulas or notes, and the small size assures that you will take this one with you. I am buying a second because my brother (a technical salesman) ran off with mine.

Ultimate formula reference book for the design engineer.
This book has almost every topic that a mechanical design engineer will encounter, and provides a thorough reference for all those pesky formulae that you have difficulty remembering
