DESCRIPTION:
This textbook introduces undergraduate students to engineering dynamics using an innovative approach that is at once accessible and comprehensive. It skillfully blends an easy-to-read, conversational style with careful attention to the physics and mathematics of engineering dynamics, and emphasizes the formal systematic notation students need to solve problems correctly and succeed in more advanced courses. This richly illustrated textbook features numerous real-world examples and problems, incorporating a wide range of difficulty; ample use of MATLAB f
Siong Jong Hang said An Unorthodox but Excellent Approach to Engineering Dynamics. There are many great books on Engineering Dynamics out there and this book is one of them. However, what really sets this book apart from others is its unique and unorthodox approach in helping students to learn engineering dynamics. This author addresses the "An Unorthodox but Excellent Approach to Engineering Dynamics" according to Siong Jong Hang. There are many great books on Engineering Dynamics out there and this book is one of them. However, what really sets this book apart from others is its unique and unorthodox approach in helping students to learn engineering dynamics. This author addresses the 2 most important components in learning this subject - Physics and Mathematics. Each one is treated separately and from the ground up starting with qualitative definition of dynamics concepts followed by basic mechanics with some problem solving at very early stages before delving more in-depth into Newton's laws where their meanings are explained to . most important components in learning this subject - Physics and Mathematics.

An excellent choice as the main textbook in engineering dynamics! Ahmad Kassaee The authors have delivered exactly as promised in the preface of this book. You want to read it first! The goals in the preface are set clearly and met without deviation. The issues identified in the preface are very important in the education of classical mechanics for engineers.I read preface, chapters 1 through 3, chapter 8 and skimmed the rest of the book. The language style adopted in this book is simple, directed to the reader, and logically concise.As pointed out in this book, at the very beginning, "The dynamics in difficult". Why? One example is that the dynamics is difficult because the kinematic. "Great book, relatively simple explanations." according to Oliver O.. The book takes the relatively complex concept of vector dynamics within different frames and cuts it into bite size chunks. I am currently taking Paley's class and he really knows his stuff. He is able to connect to young students who sometimes have trouble wrapping their head around this stuff WITHOUT ever patronizing or getting angry (probably because he is pretty young himself). I would have to say this is my hardest semester in school so far and this book and this class is the hardest, but favorite.
Jeremy Kasdin is professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and lead investigator for the Terrestrial Planet Finder project at Princeton University. N. Derek A. Paley is assistant professor of aerospace engineering and director of the Collective Dynamics and Control Laboratory at the University of Maryland.
Adding to the nice reading, the notation used throughout the book is clearly described. The authors' stated intent is to provide a clear, rigorous, and complete view of the fundamentals of Newtonian dynamics, emphasizing a deep understanding of the concepts and the mathematics behind them. "Engineering Dynamics: A Comprehensive Introduction targets students who are taking an introductory course in dynamics. The result is a book that covers ample topics of engineering dynamics in a structured, detailed, and systematic manner. It is consistent and easy to understand; it also promotes a clear identification of the system of reference used.
