What is The Equations of Materials about?
This book describes some of the important equations of materials and the scientists who derived them. It is aimed at anyone interested in the manufacture, structure, properties and engineering application of materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors and composites. It is meant to be readable and enjoyable, a primer rather than a textbook, covering only a limited number of topics and not trying to be comprehensive. It is pitched at the level of a final year school student or a first year undergraduate who has been studying the physical sciences and is thinking of specialising into materials science and/or materials engineering, but it should also appeal to many other scientists at other stages of their career. It requires a working knowledge of school maths, mainly algebra and simple calculus, but nothing more complex. It is dedicated to a number of propositions, as follows: 1. The most important equations are often simple and easily explained; 2. The most important equations are often experimental, confirmed time and again; 3. The most important equations have been derived by remarkable scientists who lived interesting lives. Each chapter covers a single equation
