Engineering Fundamentals and Problem Solving

by McGraw-Hill Education (Contributor)

The Eide text has been a best seller in the introductory/freshman engineering market since it came out in 1979. It has always been known for its reliable and principles-based focus. In this edition, careful updating of the homework problems along with an earlier treatment of design will make this a favorite again.Even in a course area that increasingly requires a variety of module books as well as broad unifying texts, this title is always considered for the first engineering course. For those instructors who do want Eide's fundamentals approach but desire a shorter text to complement other application specific texts, McGraw-Hill offers the BEST version of this text as well. Please see Eide's Introduction to Engineering Design and Problem Solving, 2nd edition, from the BEST series.

About the author

McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.

In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.
