From the Back Cover
Mechanical engineers must solve complex problems, day after day. This book is the perfect helper. Whether you’re in your first month on the job, your tenth year, or still in the classroom, the problem-solving techniques in this book will help you survive—and thrive. Based on McGraw-Hill’s Marks’ Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, the most widely used reference in the field, this unique refresher course/self-teaching tool/skill builder can help you:
*Hone problem-solving skills with 100s of solved and practice examples that force you to approach problems from different angles
*Survive the “weeding-out” freshman and sophomore years of engineering when you must prove you can handle the math
*Overcome the most difficult aspect of engineering—the mathematical problems
*Polish and improve your most valuable engineering asset: problem-solving techniques
*Build skills in all core areas: statics, dynamics, and strength of materials
*Target areas of difficulty
*Find answers to practice problems Mathematical theory is fully described in easy to understand language. The reading is concise and easy to follow. You’ll easily find answers to the questions that you ask.
Problem sets for a foundation in mechanical engineering

OK Book. Get it only if you have to.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marks' Mechanics Problem-Solving Companion (Paperback)
This book is OK. It was a required book by my dynamics proffessor, L. Silverberg (the author). He is a di*khead so I don't want him make more money through book sales. Bad graphics and just not very useful.
