Description

For sophomore-level courses in Mechanics. Designed to provide a more mature, in-depth treatment of mechanics at the undergraduate level - and to offer continuity with, and a smooth transition to, upper-level courses - this text focuses on developing a solid understanding of basic principles rather than rote learning of specific methodologies.

Description

Designed to provide a mature, in-depth treatment of mechanics at the undergraduate level and to offer continuity with, and a smooth transition to, upper-level courses, this text focuses on developing a solid understanding of basic principles, rather than rote learning of specific methodologies. This edition includes 400 new problems equally divided between statics and dynamics and 30 computer projects, including many which require students to prepare their own software or engage in design. There is also a revised chapter on plane motion to provide greater clarity, particularly in the solving of problems. The volumes in this set are available individually.
