Dover Publications, Inc., New York, 1977. – 346 pp.Developed at MIT, this distinguished introductory text is popular at engineering schools around the world.

This text is intended for use in the standard one-semester course on the subject in engineering schools. The material treated in it is more extensive than can conveniently be covered in such a short time, and hence the instructor must leave out some of it. It is suggested that the material not indicated by asterisks in the table of contents is so fundamental that it has to be included in any course. From among the remaining paragraphs, marked with asterisks, the instructor can then make a suitable choice to round out the course, and it is pretty well immaterial which paragraphs he so selects.
