Notebooks and Notepads
Math Equations That Changed The World
Before we get into the notebook that celebrates the equations that have changed the world, let’s acknowledge that math isn’t for everyone. But you know who appreciates and understands math more than the average person? Yep, you guessed it: mechanical engineers. This deep blue and burnt orange notebook is multi functional and can be used to jot down insights, graph observations, and record data.
So for the math-loving person in your life, this gift is more than just acute notebook (pun intended), it pays homage to the many scientific and mathematical discoveries credited to the early Greek philosopher Pythagoras. Trust us, they’re going to love it.
Optical Engineering Lab Notebook
It doesn’t take a mathematician to see why this notebook ranks as one of the best gifts for mechanical engineers. This brightly-colored vintage cover was designed to spark inspiration for math and science lovers alike. One of the coolest things about this particular workbook is that each book has space for a complete table of contents and numbered pages, making it easy to keep track of projects and research.
The Engineer - Notebook Collection
Consider this particular collection the Rolls Royce of gifts for engineers. With traditional green engineering grid paper in a lay-flat bound hardcover format, it’s no wonder why these notebooks would make the perfect gift. Not only does this 12-pack of hardcover bound notebooks contain each of The Engineer notebooks, but it was sustainably built in response to a special request from a prominent aerospace engineer, so you know it's engineer-approved! If you don’t need the entire collection, you can always choose any one of the twelve, like the Chemical Engineering bound pad or the Mechanical Engineering bound pad.
