Book Overview

A resource book which looks at the design of mechanisms, for example gears and linkages, through the eyes of a mathematician. There are a wide variety of examples including car steering, anglepoise lamps, bicycles, cine cameras, folding push chairs and the design of robots. Readers are encouraged to make models throughout and to look for further examples in everyday life. Suitable for GCSE, A level, and mathematics/technology/engineering courses in Further Education.

An excellent resource for Engineers.

This book contains examples that pertain to many types of mechanical concepts. Most machines I have personally been involved with use instances explained in the book. As a referece guide alone it is fantastic.

A terrific resource for mathematics teaching

I have used this book for the past 5 years in teacher seminars. It contains many many tips and suggestions for integration real world technology: heavy equipment, cars, bicycles, lawn chairs, steam engines, amusement park rides. The mathematics ranges from simple multiplication applied to gear ratios to complex geometry used in linkages. Model building in the math classroom is a fun way to try out the theory shown. There are also numerous excelent exercises.
