Statics and Dynamics with Background Mathematics

This book covers statics and dynamics to provide the student with everything needed to complete typical first-year undergraduate courses. Although students often find it difficult to visualize problems and grasp the mathematics, Adrian Roberts' approach tackles concepts with many examples, exercises and helpful diagrams. A key section on background mathematics allows students to review the prerequisite mathematics needed to progress through both topics.

Now retired, Dr Adrian Roberts spent 25 years as a full Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at Queen's University, Belfast, including four years as Dean of the Faculty.
