5.0 out of 5 starsReally Good! Slow Pace
By Gerome Cabrera on September 30, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book has helped me understand the mechanics in physics. It has a slow pace, which helps you understand each subject thoroughly. For example, in my physics book, we cover momentum in like 10 pages, but in this book, momentum is covered in like 50 pages. There are many problems within each section to help you understand the subject and they also give example problems to help you solve these problems.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent!!
By KP on December 22, 2010
Format: Hardcover
The authors of this statics and dynamics book have been writing it for a long time, and I could tell while using it. Their discussions are straight forward, concise, and use excellent diagrams to illustrate the concepts. The overall formatting of the book makes it easy to read and reference. The chapter section examples are good, easy to follow, varied, and progressively become more challenging like the problems. At the end of each section is a summary/outline with useful insights and procedures for approaching the problems that follow. The end of chapter summaries are good review. The images throughout the textbook are top notch. The authors use standard units and both the U.S. customary and standard international (SI) units. Useful reference tables are provided such as reaction forces, centroids, moments of inertia, and mass moments of inertia.

1.0 out of 5 starsI paid good money for this?
By Amazon Customer on September 15, 2008
Format: Hardcover
I have seen better information in a high school algebra text book. One of the problems in chapter 2 tells you to go to chapter 4 for a formula. After a few choice words and a search of chapter 4 the formula doesn't show up. I ended up finding help on Google. There were several questions that could have used an explanation with out needing to read the next section first.

If you can, get the questions you need from a fellow student and use Google to find the information you need to solve them.
