This introduction to dimensional analysis covers the methods, history and formalisation of the field, and provides physics and engineering applications.

The plain language style, worked examples and exercises in this book help students to understand the foundations of computational physics and engineering.

Written to complement course textbooks, this book focuses on the topics that undergraduates in physics and engineering find most difficult.

This book helps readers understand the elusive concept of entropy to supplement undergraduate courses in physics, engineering, chemistry and mathematics.
