This book, Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering, is a direct result of the success of the Fouth Edition of The Science and Engineering of Maerials, published in 2003. We received positive feedback on both the contents and the integrated approach we used to develop materials science and engineering foundations by presenting the studen with real-world applications and problems.
This positive feedback gave use the inspiration to develop Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering. The main objective of this book is to provide a concise overview of the principles of materials scienced and engineering for undergraduate students in varying engineering and science disciplines. This Essentials text contains the same integrated approach as the Fourth Edition, using real-world applications to present and then solve fundamental material science and engineering problems.
