Principles of Precision Engineering (Oxford Science Publications) Book

In this important book, the author--a leading member of the respected Japanese Society for Precision Engineering--presents the first systematic view of the knowledge and principles needed to design, build, and test precision machinery. This information has previously been scattered among many individual papers and publications. By bringing together the subject in a systematic way the author has assisted in the task of teaching new generations of students about precision engineering, a subject of fundamental importance for supplying today's massively used electronic and optical components. The book is written in plain language with use of copious illustrations and examples rather than complicated mathematics in order to ensure that the principles of this important branch of engineering can be absorbed by as wide an audience of students and practising engineers as possible.Read More
