Opis

Mechanics is the first foundation course for the study of physics. This book takes first-year undergraduates in physics and engineering through an entertaining and instructive set of practical examples of the uses of mechanics. The author adopts a fresh approach which recognizes mechanics as an observational science, and uses worked examples that can be easily visualized and understood by the reader. By the end of the book students will have not only painlessly learned the principles of mechanics, but will have also obtained a good grasp of techniques needed for solving typical mechanics problems. The book also makes an supplementary reference or aide for review.

Recenzje

A lot of space is given to the mathematics, with early chapters introducing vectors, so this should suit students with little prior training in mathematics
