1. 5/5

   Bra och tydliga exempel

   Bra och tydlig. Fördel om man har med sig linjär algebra och analys, men det mesta är grundligt förklarat. Rekomenderas.

2. 4/5

   Ämnet är komplicerat med mycket matematik för att beräkna strain och stress. Boken är bra utformad med tydliga beskrivande bilder och MASSOR av formler. Det gäller att veta vilka man ska använda vid beräkningarna. Jag är mycket nöjd.
