Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compendium of engineering geodesy principles and methods that are frequently used in mechanics, such as the computation of areas, volumes, and lengths of various geometrical shapes and curves, as well as principles of equilibrium, stability of structures, and strength of materials. The author has gathered a collection of useful tables and rules, along with practical examples, for the solution of problems in various technical fields. The book has roots in the work of notable historical figures such as Newton, Euler, Lagrange, and Laplace, and is presented in a way that avoids complex mathematical proofs and uses graphical representations and simple numerical examples instead. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the connection between the theoretical and practical aspects of engineering, providing a valuable resource for both students and practicing engineers seeking to enhance their understanding of the fundamental principles governing mechanical systems and structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
