THE ground covered by this text-book comprises the fundamental properties of solids, liquids, and gases; force, work, and energy; and the elementary principles of heat, including a chapter on the ...

The goal of drive-system engineers is usually pretty straightforward. Specify the smallest motor and drive needed to accelerate and run a load at a required rate, and determine the braking forces ...

This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

SUCH a wide field can be covered only sketchily in so few pages. Nevertheless, many fundamental principles are outlined and historically traced, with references to sources and proofs. The symbols are ...

One of the more memorable student course evaluations I've gotten in my years at Union was from a student in the introductory physics-for-engineers course who complained "They abstracted away all the ...
