Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics

This textbook is the dynamics volume of a two-part series for first-year engineering students, the companion to a statics book. Its aim is to teach a clear, step-by-step method for tackling any problem and applying core engineering principles to reach a solution.

Each chapter opens with an introduction and learning goals and closes with a review and summary. The main text is split into units, each covering one focused topic through explanations, worked examples, and a large set of problems for class or homework. The worked examples show how a tidy solution should look and help readers link theory to practice before attempting the exercises on their own. Units are short enough to be taught in a single lesson.

Colour is used throughout to tell vectors apart, and optional sections go deeper into specialist material. The exercises range from straightforward application tasks to review questions and problems meant for computer software.
