FOUNDATIONS OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering is designed to prepare materials engineers and scientists of the future. The strength of the book is in its balanced presentation of concepts in science of materials (basic knowledge) and engineering of materials (applied knowledge). The basic and applied concepts are integrated through concise textual explanations, relevant and stimulating imagery, detailed sample problems, electronic supplements, and homework problems. This textbook is therefore suitable for both an introductory course in materials at the sophomore level and a more advanced course in the subject area.
