Nelson E.W., Best C.L., McLean W.G. Theory and Problems of Engineering Mechanics. Statics and Dynamics

5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, 1997. – 519 pp. – (Schaum's Outline Series).
This new edition draws on the best mathematical tool now available to solve problems. It applies the vector approach for elegance and simplicity in theory and problems whenever appropriate. Other times, for similarly adequate solutions, scalar methods are preferred. This study guide complements class texts and proves excellent for solo study and brushing up.
This book is designed to supplement standard texts, primarily to assist students of engineering and science in acquiring a more thorough knowledge and proficiency in analytical and applied mechanics. It is based on the authors' conviction that numerous solved problems constitute one of the best means for clarifying and fixing in mind basic principles. While this book will not mesh precisely with any one text, the authors feel that it can be a very valuable adjunct to all
