An excellent introduction to dynamics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This text is somewhat unique and refreshing in its approach to teaching dynamics. The treatment of kinematics is my favorite part of the text. From the beginning, the importance of the reference frame is emphasized. The treatment is similar to Thomas Kane's 'Dynamics' but with more words and less than trivial examples to emphasize the concepts. I can emphathize with the other reviewers but disagree with their comments about the text. I am assuming the instructor for their dynamics class was less than helpful in illuminating the difficult three-dimensional concepts of rigid-body kinematics and dyanmics. There is no undergraduate text in dynamics today that can match the rigor and challenge of this text or provide more good examples of dynamical systems.
