Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics (Schaum's electronic tutor)

Students and professionals bought more than 300,000 copies of previous editions! This new edition draws on the best mathematical tool now available to solve problems. It applies the vector approach for elegance and simplicity in theory and problems whenever appropriate. Other times, for similarly adequate solutions, scalar methods are preferred. This study guide complements class texts and proves excellent for solo study and brushing up. Rev. ed. of: Schaum's outline of theory and problems of engineering mechanics / by W.G. McLean and E.W. Nelson. 4th ed. c1988. Scalar quantities possess only magnitude, e.g.,time, volume, energy, mass, density, work.
