About this book

This indispensable companion provides a ready reference for commonly required formulae and data, for use in coursework and examinations and in professional practice. It is not a textbook - the user needs to know when to use a certain formula - but it is extremely useful for avoiding errors. The units used are SI, or multiples, with conversion factors from other systems provided.
