Product Review
"It is clear that a student who masters all the material in this book will have a very good basis for doing research on a wide range of subjectsa good reference book for libraries and students of mechanics" Applied Mechanics Reviews

"Especially notable is the development of rotation transformations for describing the position and orientation of rigid bodies in spatial motion." Mechanical Engineering --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
This text is a modern vector oriented treatment of classical dynamics and its application to engineering problems. Based on Ginsberg's Advanced Engineering Dynamics Second Edition, it develops a broad spectrum of kinematical concepts, which provide the framework for formulations of kinetics principles following the Newton-Euler and analytical approaches. This fresh treatment features many expanded and new derivations, with an emphasis on both breadth and depth and a focus on making the subject accessible to individuals from a broad range of backgrounds.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Advanced Engineering Dynamics (Paperback) This book was used by us for a two quarter course. The book starts off with newtonian dynamics and introduces analytical mechanics in the later chapters. The book has sufficient number of solved examples with interesting exercise problems (Answers provided for odd numbered problems). The author does a great job explaining newtonian dynamics. The explanations are clear, terse and to the point. But I feel the analytical mechanics part could have been dealt in a much more better way. This is by far the best book I have read on this topic.
