3.0 out of 5 stars Dynamics(ISBN 0-471-59767-8), October 7, 1998
By A Customer
this books really needs more examples that aren't so vague and difficult to understand. They could really try and make it easier to understand in the literature aspect of the book to. The solutions manual absolutely SUCKS. This book does not help what so ever but does guarantee to confuse you. If you could find me a better solutions manual please let me know because I would like to order it. Thank You

1.0 out of 5 stars useless text, January 21, 2005
By M. Thomas (cal poly, slo) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You'd better hope you've got a good professor for dynamics, because this book is absolutely no help. It gives proofs for most equations, but doesn't seem to think any amount of example problems are necessary. I have the bootleg copy of the solutions manual for this book and the author solves most of the problems with bizarre calculus that isn't discussed in the chapter at all.

To top it off, the set (Statics and Dynamics) was $180 at my college bookstore. Pool your money with your classmates, buy one copy of each, and xerox the problems. You will not miss anything.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trash...Not recommended for a first time Dynamics student, April 26, 1999
By jefff@student.umass.edu (University of Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This text book is extremely poor...Each section of new material has about 1 to 2 pages dedicated to it, even though it needs about 20 pages. This book seems to be a reference manual for Dynamics professors, not a learning tool for undergrads. Thank God our professor recycles the same homework problems so we can get last years answers! As other have noted, there are not enough examples...So there's not enough examples and the book is way too short for such a complex subject. So why does it cost almost 100 bucks? Well life is full of mysteries and this book doesn't help much in unraveling many of them.

This is really a great book in a hard to grasp subject.It is easy to follow ,has a lot of excellent sample problems and examples ,student-friendly and it is ideal for selfstudy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, but I recommend Beer & Johnston
I took to reading this book because I enjoyed the book on Statics by the same author. I was not disappointed, but I thought Dynamics was covered much better in Beer & Johnston.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely sorry
This book is either a total joke or intended to weed out engineering students. It makes the most simple of concepts and makes it a total nightmare to understand.

The book uses good explanations, clear examples, real world situations, and good homework problems. I had one of the worst teachers on earth for engineering dynamics, and this... Read more
