For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and...
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.
At the same time, the careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made these texts the standard for excellence.
Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics
The package is also enhanced by new problems supplements for both statics and dynamics. For more details about the new media and problems supplement package components, see the "New to this Edition" section below.low.
The first book published in the Beer and Johnston Series, Mechanics for Engineers: Statics is a scalar-based introductory statics text, ideally suited for engineering technology programs, providing first-rate treatment of...

Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and dynamics
Following on the success of the first six editions of the series, this work introduces theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials education.
At the same time, the careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made these texts the standard for excellence.
