Overview
This book develops a thorough, working knowledge of statistics and strength of materials using both calculator- and computer-supported strategies. It trains readers in dealing with rapidly changing inputs, developing an understanding of the effects of individual changes on entire designs. Several valuable programs are provided that offer a fun, easy way to calculate and plot centroid locations, moments of inertia, shear force and bending moment diagrams. For engineering technology professionals and practicing engineers.Synopsis

The textbook for engineering technology programs first illustrates each topic with worked example problems using a hand-held calculator, and it is not until the end of each chapter that computer programs are introduced. The 25 programs are written for Excel 97. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
