"This book systematically presents and develops a scientific theory of gearing, specifically for those involved in gear design, analysis, and manufacture. The author begins with a few simple postulates that form the foundation of the theory of gearing. The postulated concepts are limited just to two entities, namely to (a) rotation vectors of the driving shaft and of the driven shaft, and to (b) torque on the driving shaft. The rest of the design parameters of an optimal gear pair are derived from the above mentioned input information"--

"The Mechanics of Mechanical Watches and Clocks" presents historical views and mathematical models of mechanical watches and clocks. Although now over six hundred years old, mechanical watches and clocks are still popular luxury items that fascinate many people around the world. However few have examined the theory of how they work as presented in this book. The illustrations and computer animations are unique and have never been published before. It will be of significant interest to researchers in mechanical engineering, watchmakers and clockmakers, as well as people who have an engineering background and are interested in mechanical watches and clocks. It will also inspire people in other fields of science and technology, such as mechanical engineering and electronics engineering, to advance their designs. Professor Ruxu Du works at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China. Assistant Professor Longhan Xie works at the South China University of Technology, China.
