Arthur Boresi and Richard Schmidt's innovative textbook (and its partner text, ENGINEERING MECHANICS: STATICS) presents mechanics in the most exciting and relevant context possible, with painstaking clarity and accuracy throughout. The authors strive to present the topics thoroughly and directly, with fundamental principles emerging through application to real-world problems. The emphasis is on concepts, derivations, and interpretations of the general principles, and they explain the material with rigor and precision. They present the technical principles of mechanics within the framework of a structured learning methodology, enabling students to better understand and retain the material. The integrated use of learning aids throughout the book is based on the authors' experience that students can be taught effective study habits while they learn mechanics.
