Statics and Analytical Geometry

In any technical course, math plays a vital role in obtaining correct solutions for the problems. Statics is no exception. The student must have a solid base in several mathematical disciplines to set-up and solve the equations of statics. Algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus are all very important in the study of statics and beyond. Analytic geometry is the foundation of most modern  elds of geometry, including algebraic, di erential, discrete and computational geometry. Usually the Cartesian coordinate system is applied to manipulate equations for planes, straight lines, and squares, often in two and sometimes in three dimensions.
