An Elementary Treatise On Statics With Numerous Examples And Solutions Etc

Edward John Routh (1831-1907) was a highly successful mathematics coach at Cambridge. He also contributed to the foundations of control theory and to the modern treatment of mechanics. Published between 1896 and 1902, this revised two-volume textbook offers extensive coverage of statics, with formulae and examples throughout.

Originally published in 1917, this textbook presents a detailed and contained introduction to statics. Primarily aimed at undergraduate students of science, engineering and mathematics, the book considers statics from the very beginning and assumes only elementary prior knowledge of the ordinary processes of the differential and integral calculus.
