The science and engineering of materials

Abstract

This text is intended for an introductory science of materials class taught at the sophomore or junior level. A first course in college level chemistry is assumed, as is some coverage of first year college physics. A calculus course is helpful, but certainly not required. The text does not presume that students have taken other introductory engineering courses such as statics, dynamics, or mechanics of materials. Particular attention has been paid to revising the text for clarity and accuracy. Particular attention has been paid to revising the text for clarity and accuracy.
