CRC/MATHCAD Electronic Materials Science and Engineering Handbook

"The CRC Materials Science and Engineering Handbook" ...now in a handy electronic format. CRC Press has joined forces with MathSoft to produce the best-selling "CRC Handbook of Materials Science and Engineering" as part of MathSoft's Mathcad series of electronic handbooks. Combined with Mathcad 3.1(sold separately), this electronic handbook provides interactive access to over 140 tables of data, illustrations and Mathcad plots. "CRC Handbook of Materials Science and Engineering" is unique because unlike most databases and handbooks, it follows a properties-based approach rather than one that is materials-based. This saves you time by allowing you to first examine the tables of those properties required so that you can then compare and select materials that fit within the necessary parameters.Mathcad puts the organizational power of the "CRC Handbook of Materials Science and Engineering" to work for you on your computer. For example, if you are an engineer using the electronic handbook to locate critical fields and critical temperatures of common superconducting alloys, you would pick the Selected Properties of Superconductive Elements from the electronic handbook's table of contents. A complete table listing common elements together with critical fields in oersteds and critical temperatures in Kelvin appears. Double-click on the critical field of Indium and it appears in your Mathcad document so your calculations are complete with correct units!Because this is a "Mathcad Electronic Handbook", numbers are live and interactive so that they can be adapted to solve your individual problems. Improve your accuracy and avoid typos by double-clicking on one of these live numbers to place it in your document for use in your own calculations. Furthermore, Mathcad lets you put math, text and graphics together right on your computer. Simply enter your calculations in real math notation and you're done-Mathcad does all the work for you. Change a variable and Mathcad automatically updates the answers in your live document. Add a graph and some explanatory text and print your results in presentation-quality output. "The CRC/Mathcad Electronic Materials Science and Engineering Handbook" is the perfect solution for engineers, scientists, teachers and students who need interactive, easily accessible technical data.
