In this ninth edition we have retained the objectives and approaches for teachingmaterials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. The first,and primary, objective is to present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate foruniversity/college students who have completed their freshmen calculus, chemistry, andphysics courses.The second objective is to present the subject matter in a logical order, from thesimple to the more complex. Each chapter builds on the content of previous ones.The third objective, or philosophy, that we strive to maintain throughout the text isthat if a topic or concept is worth treating, then it is worth treating in sufficient detail andto the extent that students have the opportunity to fully understand it without having toconsult other sources; in addition, in most cases, some practical relevance is provided.The fourth objective is to include features in the book that will expedite the learningprocess.
