The first edition of this book was written as a textbook for college-level courses in metal casting for metallurgical and mechanical-engineering students : Since that time, there have been many advances in the engineering sciences : Major recoganization of engineering curricula in colleges has completely altered the seqences of presentation of engineering subjects and courses.
