5.0 out of 5 stars
great book for those less worried about theory,
By
This review is from: Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics, 10th Edition (Hardcover)
This book came in very handy as a compliment to Meriam's contribution (5th edition). For those of us less technically-minded, yet required to take courses such as engineering dynamics, this book left the theory and procedural derivations to another day so that at first by practice may understanding come about. When I couldn't quite comprehend what Meriam's book said, I found my answer in this book. There are better (ahem, simpler) explanations of not only the ideas but the math as well, a major help to someone increasingly out of practice, however the appendices are weak so don't look to them for much review. Answers to odd-numbered problems are provided. Note: This book doesn't make the learning easy, it just softens the blow sufficiently.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty good as a supplementary/beginner text,
This review is from: Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics, 10th Edition (Hardcover)
I bought this book when I was taking a course in Dynamics. The assigned textbook was the Statics & Dynamics textbook by Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo. I wanted something a little more straightforward than that without all the abstract examples and Hibbelers's book fit the bill. I found that his writing style eliminated a lot of random information that, while interesting, is not essential when you are trying to learn the basics. As far as problems go, Hibbeler's book presents problems with less "fluff" to work through that could throw you off (Plesha, Gray, Costanzo text requires you to use a lot of trig identities and what not). Another advantage of the Hibbeler book is that the layout of the text is much easier to navigate than other textbooks on the subject. That being said, Hibbeler's book is good at getting you started in the basics of dynamics problem-solving, but if you want something that will be a little more challenging and in-depth and will maintain your mathematical skills, I would go with something else. I would definitely recommend this book as a supplementary text.
