Book Overview

The Civil Engineer's Pocketbook: Mensuration, Trigonometry, Surveying, Etc. (1883) by John Cresson Trautwine is a comprehensive guidebook for civil engineers. The book covers a wide range of topics, including mensuration, trigonometry, surveying, and other related subjects. It is designed to be a compact reference tool that engineers can carry with them on the job.The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different topic. The first section covers mensuration, which is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures. This section includes formulas and tables for calculating the areas and volumes of various shapes, such as squares, circles, triangles, and cylinders.The second section covers trigonometry, which is the study of triangles and their properties. This section includes formulas for calculating the lengths of sides and angles of triangles, as well as tables for trigonometric functions.The third section covers surveying, which is the process of measuring and mapping the earth's surface. This section includes information on instruments used in surveying, as well as techniques for measuring distances, angles, and elevations.Other sections of the book cover topics such as hydraulics, mechanics, and strength of materials. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help explain the concepts covered.Overall, The Civil Engineer's Pocketbook: Mensuration, Trigonometry, Surveying, Etc. (1883) is a valuable resource for civil engineers and others in related fields. Its compact size and comprehensive coverage make it an ideal reference tool for those working in the field.The Civil Engineer�������s Pocketbook Of Mensuration, Trigonometry, Surveying, Hydraulics, Hydrostatics, Instruments And Their Adjustments, Strength Of Materials, Masonry, Principles Of Wooden And Iron Roof And Bridge Trusses, Stone Bridges And Culverts, Trestles, Pillars, Suspension Bridges, Dams, Railroads, Turnouts, Turning Platforms, Water Stations, Cost Of Earthwork, Foundations, Retaining Walls, Etc.
