A primary objective in a first course in
mechanics is to help develop a student's ability first to analyze
problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic
principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of
these basic mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving
mechanics problems. This edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers will
help instructors achieve these goals. Continuing in the spirit of its
successful previous editions, this edition provides conceptually
accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment
of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your
students. This edition has undergone a complete rewrite to modernize and
streamline the language through the text. Over 650 of the homework
problems in the text are new or revised. One of the characteristics of
the approach used in this book is that mechanics of particles is clearly
separated from the mechanics of rigid bodies. This approach makes it
possible to consider simple practical applications at an early stage and
to postpone the introduction of the more difficult concepts. McGraw-Hill
Education's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item.
Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by
continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they
need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect
allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and
automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work.
Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a
"multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if
they experience difficulty.
