It introduces key concepts in a clear and straightforward manner, with reference to real-world applications and thoroughly explains each line of mathematical development. Together with instructive diagrams, case studies, and many questions to work through, this text will ensure a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of mechanics. An enclosed CD-ROM also contains "Personal Tutor" electronic step-by-step worked examples, with voice-over commentary, which take the student through sample problems and solutions." -- Publisher's description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0907/2008301508-d.html ER -
