Book Overview
Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion, by Benson H. Tongue of University of California-Berkeley, and Sheri D. Sheppard of Stanford University, offers a student-focused approach to Dynamics. With a strong emphasis on drawing free body diagrams and the associated inertial response diagrams, an integrated use of computation, use of a structured problem-solving methodology, inclusion of real-world case studies, and robust pedagogy coupled with a truly engaging writing style, reviewers alike have praised this new Dynamics text. Additionally, this first edition has benefited from a comprehensive and thorough accuracy check by eight experienced Dynamics professors, and has been reviewed by more than 200 Statics and Dynamics professors. The authors demonstrate to students how to map their understanding to more realistic situations, enabling them to more effectively break down complex problems into manageable parts.

Decent explanations, good practice, not too boring
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I used this textbook for a dynamics course in a mechanical engineering degree program. The book is decently explained, but it's not explained similarly to other physics textbooks. The book uses its own methodology, perhaps because it isn't meant to explain all of the physics behind the problems. The examples aren't terribly boring either. As a car enthusiast, I enjoyed the pictures of cartoon BMW's and Ferrari's throughout the book. The book problems are good practice, not too difficult; however, the answers were not given in the back of the textbook, and there is no solutions manual to my knowledge.
