Developed at the University of Bristol, the first-year engineering text reviews the aspects of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, and statistics that are needed to perform civil engineering calculations, providing practical examples from structural engineering and mechanics. Later chapters demonstrate the usefulness of calculus in finding areas and masses of different types of sections, the application of equilibrium to determine action and reactions, dimensional analysis of physical phenomena, and hypothesis testing of experiments.
