Reeds General Engineering Science

The core textbook for all students studying GES I&II and A&B, covering the entire MCA syllabi and featuring worked examples, past examination questions and self-assessment tests. Focusing on the fundamental skills and knowledge tested in examinations, with worked examples and clear, helpful illustrations throughout, this essential coursebook covers the entire syllabi: - Mathematics - Applied mechanics - Thermodynamics - Electricity - Hydrostatics - Naval architecture Aimed directly as a study aid for students taking a GES course, the book contains past examination questions with full solutions, as well as self-assessment questions on every topic covered so that students can test their own understanding as they progress.
