About This Book
mechanicsmachinesengineeringmathematicsarchitecturenatural-philosophy
Jacob Leupold strips away the mystery of 18th-century engineering to reveal the mathematical laws governing every machine. He challenges the impossible claims of self-proclaimed inventors by proving that force can never be gained without a cost in time. Readers will find a practical manual that connects the abstract geometry of the lever to the industrial strength of a nation.
