It’s true, all the equations are here, but since I used the big book (Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam) for all the studying, I find it easier simply to look back at that book for the equations. I suppose that if I learn all the things in the big book well enough that I don’t need it, that this would be a good, handy, quick reference, but I just don’t find myself using it. The big book is all I need.
Rating: 4 / 5
At first glance, this book appears to have omitted many useful equations. I purchased it to save the trouble of preparing my own quick reference “cheat sheets”. Looks like I’ll still have to prepare them.
Rating: 2 / 5
I also bought this book as part of my review materials for the PE exam thinking that it would be a comprehensive summary of the equations used in each chapter. It is not. Maybe 20% of the material is provided. I didn’t even bring it with me to the exam. You’re better off making your own review sheets and spending your money on tabs for the Reference Manual (which is VERY good).
