Matrix and computer methods of structural analysis

"This book is not intended to replace standard texts on the subjects of Matrix Algebra and Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis but rathr to supplement them. The book has been prepared in an endeavour to present clearly and concisely the basic concept of the Stiffness Method without cloaking it within a haze of mathematical mystique. Further, it is hoped that by using simple examples and generalisations the full power of the method is realised."--Preface
