The approach in this book is a lot different than that which engineering students will learn in their Physics classes. This book uses a lot of calculus once you get past chapter seven, so make sure you have taken at LEAST up to Calculus III before you embark on the wonderous journey of attempting to understand shear and moment diagrams.

And there's a sufficient...

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh, September 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Statics and Mechanics of Materials (Paperback)
After about 2 weeks of moderate use, I noticed that some pages were starting to tear out of the book -- the binding is not well glued together.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing book, April 7, 2008
This review is from: Statics and Mechanics of Materials (Paperback)

This book uses a lot of calculus once you get past chapter seven, so make sure you have taken at LEAST up to Calculus III before you embark on the wonderous journey of attempting to understand shear and moment diagrams.

And there's a sufficient number of errors in the chapter two, three, and I think chapter six solutions. Make sure you ask your professor about them.

Not too terribly hard to get through, though. If you're studious and intelligent, you'll be fine.
