Reader Reviews
This review is from: Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics, 10th Edition (Hardcover)
This book came in very handy as a compliment to Meriam's contribution (5th edition). For those of us less technically-minded, yet required to take courses such as engineering dynamics, this book left the theory and procedural derivations to another day so that at first by practice may understanding come about. When I couldn't quite comprehend what Meriam's book said, I found my answer in this book. There are better (ahem, simpler) explanations of not only the ideas but the math as well, a major help to someone increasingly out of practice, however the appendices are weak so don't look to them for much review. Answers to odd-numbered problems are provided. Note: This book doesn't make the learning easy, it just softens the blow sufficiently.
