Overview
- Emphasizes a systematic approach to establishing equations of motions for models of mechanical systems
- Provides systematic approach with a wide range of examples
- Employs simulations and analyses throughout the text to motivate and explore the development of models for mechanical systems
- Emphasis on understanding rather than rote memorization
- Revisions in the latest edition have been primarily motivated by student commentary and feedback on earlier editions

About this book
Review of Second Edition:
"The book is carefully written and provides a good introduction to the subject. The main objective of this primer is to reduce the gap between the theoretical framework and an undergraduate student’s ability to solve typical problems of undergraduate dynamics. Well-selected problems illustrate a systematic four-step methodology for solving problems from the dynamics of single particles, of systems of particles, of a single rigid body, and of a system of particles and rigid bodies. … At the end of each chapter some illustrative examples were added."
