Customer Reviews

Decent explanations, good practice, not too boring

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.
