The discussion centers around recommendations for books on Applied Mechanics, with an emphasis on both the physics perspective and practical applications within mechanical engineering.
Participants express differing views on the necessity of a physics foundation for studying mechanics, with some emphasizing its importance while others focus on the practical applications in engineering.
The discussion reflects varying interpretations of the relationship between physics and practical mechanics, with no consensus on the best approach to studying the subject.
arevolutionist said:What book would you recommend on Applied Mechanics? I wish to not only obtain the physics view; I also wish to obtain the practical applications of mechanics.
arevolutionist said:Sorry. I am not saying I wish to study mechanics without the physics view. I am saying I also wish to obtain the mechanical engineering view and am asking for a recommended book.
