Customer Reviews

4 years of college between the covers

The fun thing about this book is that it has everthing you learned (or should have learned) getting your Engineering degree. It's all there! It usually takes some time to sort thru what all the vaiables mean, and often you have to flip between look up tables, but it is so charming to find EVERYTHING in one spot in a book so small you can carry it in your front pocket.

A classic

This is a wonderful and unique little book that packs a lot of information into a pocket-sized hardbound volume.The construction of the book is of the highest quality, something that's rare in this age of disposable, fluff-filled, high-ego publishing. It feels good and it's very satisfying as a physical object. Definitely something you'll keep forever or pass down to someone else.The content is quite dense and concise, exactly what you want in a portable work like this.This little book belongs in the library (or the pocket) of anyone with an interest in engineering, and some of the mathematical sections have an even wider appeal.G.

Excellent!!

This book I the best reference you can buy. It is well worth the money. I have used this book for all my classes in undergrad, and even on the job site for quick reference. Well done!!

Useful for many fields and levels. It's quite good!

I bought this manual in high school (math, physics) and I have used it in the university (almost the whole manual) and even in the graduate school (for quick reference). It is well organized, the concrete explanations are useful and you get you formula or data quickly, everywhere (easy to carry). I bought another for my brother when he started studying engineering. I think it's indispensable.

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
