Jack Cain - Böcker

For arithmetic-based courses in Business Mathematics. Designed as a true teaching text, this book guides students through clear, detailed explanations of the principles and practices of business mathematics. Its flexible organization and presentation make it suitable for a variety of teaching situations-from a traditional classroom lecture to individually paced instruction. The Fifth Edition has been updated and improved presenting the latest business situations and techniques. Students are given the opportunity to participate more actively in their learning.

This textbook provides students with an aid to consolidating understanding of the principles and applications of structural mechanics. It is not a standard textbook, but a support for a main course text and/or lecture material. Each chapter begins with a summary of essential theory, important facts, then relevant equations are presented and summarised in a Fact Sheet. This is followed by a series of carefully paced and sequenced worked examples using real exam questions, with additional explanatory notes.  At the end of each chapter there are additional problems with answers given, for further problem-solving practice. The text reinforces knowledge learnt in lectures and through companion textbooks, completes understanding, and helps in preparing for exams.Structural Mechanics: Worked Examples is an ideal companion resource for undergraduate courses in Civil Engineering and Construction. It works well alongside Hulse and Cain’s Structural Mechanics text, but can equally well be used alongside any other introductory textbook.

This second edition of Structural Mechanics is an expanded and revised successor to the highly successful first edition, which over the last ten years has become a widely adopted standard first year text. The addition of five new programmes, together with some updating of the original text, now means that this book covers most of the principles of structural mechanics taught in the first and second years of civil engineering degree courses.- Suitable for independent study or as a compliment to a traditional lecture-based course- Adopts a programmed learning format, with a focus on student-centred learning- Contains many examples, carefully constructed questions and graded practical problems, allowing the reader to work at their own pace, and assess their progress whilst gaining confidence in their ability to apply the principles of Structural Mechanics- Now covering the major part of the Structural Mechanics/Analysis syllabuses of most Civil Engineering degree courses up to second year level.
