I am concluding a course in vibrations (UofWashington) and wanted to take a moment to recognize the author for the excellent text he has crafted. I have found many times through the quarter that simply sitting down and diving through its chapters taught me more than my professor ever could have.

Specifically:

-Excellent examples

-Excellent derivations

-Unique and effective approach to emphasizing fundamental points

But mainly this text excels because it never forgets the main point - to help newcomers understand the topic of vibrations. Highly recommended, even if you don't specifically need a text on vibrations. I think everyone could use a little more of chapters three,four,six and eight (if you're curious, buy the book!) :)

Just my two cents.

Ok, its been 10 years since I completed my undergrad, so I barely remember the equations of motion. Sudenly I see myself in this new job where dynamics is everything they do. I got myself all kinds of books to help me refresh my memory but they were all over my head. This book however is down to earth. It is easy to read, almost if the professor was right there explaining everything to you in a very informal manner. I loved it! That is what I needed. I recomend to anyone new in vibrations or trying to get a good foundation.

I have found this book well written and extremely useful for any class involving vibrations.

This vibrations book was selected by my professor. It appears to be working just fine for my 400 level class.
