Dynamics can be a major frustration for those students who don't relate to the logic behind the material -- and this includes many of them! Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics meets their needs by combining rigor with user friendliness. The presentation in this text is very personalized, giving students the sense that they are having a one-on-one discussion with the authors. This minimizes the air of mystery that a more austere presentation can engender, and aids immensely in the students' ability to retain and apply the material. The authors do not skimp on rigor but at the same time work tirelessly to make the material accessible and, as far as possible, fun to learn.
