A first course in mechanics should develop a student's ability to analyze and solve problems using well-understood basic principles applied in a simple, logical manner. The emphasis of the 11th edition of Vector Mechanics continues this tradition and focuses on the correct understanding of the principles of mechanics and on their application to the solving of engineering problems. New to this e…
For introductory statics courses found in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, and engineering mechanics departments. Better enables students to learn challenging material through effective, efficient examples and explanations.
Statics and Strength of Materials for Architecture and Building Construction, Fourth Edition, offers students an accessible, visually oriented introduction to structural theory that doesn't rely on calculus. Instead, illustrations and examples of building frameworks and components enable students to better visualize the connection between theoretical concepts and the experiential nature of real…
