Laws and models : science, engineering, and technology
"The "laws" that govern our physical universe come in many guises - as principles, theorems, canons, equations, axioms, models, and so forth." "Laws and Models: Science, Engineering, and Technology compiles more than 1,500 of the laws and models most frequently encountered and used by engineers and technologists. Each entry consists of a simple statement of the law or model, its date of origin, a one-line biography of the people involved in its formulation, sources of information about the law, and cross-references." "Everyone with an interest in the inner workings of nature - from engineers to students, from teachers to journalists - will find Laws and Models: Science, Engineering and Technology to be not only a handy reference, but also an engaging volume to read and browse."--Jacket
