Book Synopsis

In the new breadth-and-depth mechanical PE exam, time can be your biggest enemy. Quick Reference will help you get the most out of every minute of the exam -- by putting the information you need most often right at your fingertips. To save you time, Quick Reference collects just the formulas you are most likely to use from the comprehensive Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual. In Quick Reference, these formulas are: organized logically in an exam-friendly format. fully indexed for rapid location. keyed to the Reference Manual, so you can easily find additional information. During the exam, you'll find Quick Reference is all you need to solve many problems. When you do require more than a formula, you can easily refer to the Reference Manual. And if it's necessary to reference two pieces of information at once to solve a problem (such as a formula and a table), you can keep both Quick Reference and the Reference Manual open to the desired pages, rather than flipping back and forth in a single book. Quick Reference for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam and its companion products are part of the best-selling exam-review series from Professional Publications, used by over 700,000 engineers to prepare for their licensing exams.
