Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics by Russell Hibbeler

I actually used Hibbeler books, I have all the new editions for statics, dynamics and mechanics of materials. They are pretty well written books

 

[mindheavy]

I am in 'engineering physics 1' currently and the professor I have also teaches a statics class. He uses Hibbeler's book for his statics class and actually gives us (in physics) vector problems out of this book. So far this seems like a good book, although I can't give the best opinion since I haven't actually taken statics yet.

Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics by Russell Hibbeler

Statics is pretty much physics 1. Now strength of materials is a whole new monster but you'll need statics to do anything in that class

 

[jhae2.718]

I dislike the way dynamics is presented in this book. I think it's better to stress the use of vectors (i.e. if it's a dynamics problem always use vectors and rigorously solve the problem) and to introduce the kinematic transport theorem earlier.

Agreed but I find dynamics to be pretty boring to begin with. Heat transfer and statics were more interesting to me

We appear to be complete opposites. (Though as a dynamicist I haven't done much heat transfer.)

I'd go on further, but I don't want to get off-topic. (More off-topic?)
