Description
For sophomore-level courses in Mechanics.
Designed to provide a more mature, in-depth treatment of mechanics at the undergraduate level - and to offer continuity with, and a smooth transition to, upper-level courses - this text focuses on developing a solid understanding of basic principles rather than rote learning of specific methodologies.
