"Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics" and its companion volume, "Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics", are designed to develop in first-year engineering students the ability to analyze any problem in a simple and logical manner, and to apply basic engineering principles to its solution. Each chapter begins with an introduction and a set of learning objectives, and ends with a chapter review and summary. The body of the text is divided into units, each consisting of one or several theory sections, one or several sample problems, and a large number of problems to be assigned during the class or as homework.The sample problems serve the double purpose of amplifying the text and demonstrating the type of neat, orderly work that students should cultivate in their own solutions. This allows students to organize in their minds the theories and solution methods learnt before they tackle the assigned problems. Each unit corresponds to a well-defined topic and can generally be covered in one lesson.The key features include: practical applications are introduced early; new concepts are introduced in simple terms; fundamental principles are placed in the context of simple applications; the presentation of the principles of kinetics is unified; free-body diagrams are used both to solve equilibrium problems and to express the equivalence of force systems; a four-color presentation uses color to distinguish vectors; optional sections offer advanced or speciality topics; and a wide range of problems develops application skills: sample problems, problems for students to solve on their own, homework problems sets, review problems, and problems to be solved using computational software.

Great book

I used this book for the course of Applied Mechanics II, it has a lot of examples (which have solutions) and a lot of exercises.
It has a good approach on the subject and it's easy to understand.

Overall, I'd recommend this book to any college student.

The seller made amazon look good and made me trust in the sellers of new materials I try not to pay full price, so another hundred dollars I saved thanks to the seller. Just had to buy a slightly older edition. The book is immaculate and has the mini engineers rule which is useful.

Well...

I found it easier to understand the concepts out of Meriam's book. I'm sure this is an important and useful text, but wow is it dense.

One tip: beg, borrow, or steal the solution manual for this text... the problems are absolutely, without question, infeasible without it. Others have said it: they're just too hard. I don't understand what he was thinking writing impossible problems. My 190 year old professor couldn't even solve many of them.
