Tongue of University of California-Berkeley, and Sheri D. Sheppard of Stanford University, offers a student-focused approach to Dynamics. With a strong emphasis on drawing free body diagrams and the associated inertial response diagrams, an integrated use of computation, use of a structured problem-solving methodology, inclusion of real-world case studies, and robust pedagogy coupled with a truly engaging writing style, reviewers alike have praised this new Dynamics text. Additionally, this first edition has benefited from a comprehensive and thorough accuracy check by eight experienced Dynamics professors, and has been reviewed by more than 200 Statics and Dynamics professors.
The authors demonstrate to students how to map their understanding to more realistic situations, enabling them to more effectively break down complex problems into manageable parts. | | | |

 Decent explanations, good practice, not too boring Jul 13, 2009
By Rishi Agrawal
I used this textbook for a dynamics course in a mechanical engineering degree program.
The book is decently explained, but it's not explained similarly to other physics textbooks. The book uses its own methodology, perhaps because it isn't meant to explain all of the physics behind the problems. The examples aren't terribly boring either. As a car enthusiast, I enjoyed the pictures of cartoon BMW's and Ferrari's throughout the book.
The book problems are good practice, not too difficult; however, the answers were not given in the back of the textbook, and there is no solutions manual to my knowledge.
 Easy to follow with plenty of pictures Mar 21, 2011
By Roozbeh Daneshvar
This book is written in an easy manner and it is extremely easy and fun to follow the content. There are plenty of exercises that help the reader gain a better understanding of the text. I also like to frequent jokes made by the authors.
 God Awful Jul 28, 2010
By lionengineering
This book is God awful. They use unconventional methodology, beat around the bush with useless commentary, lack the appropriate standards of most textbooks (i.e. definitions), examples that are difficult to follow, and furthermore, no answers in the back of the book nor is there a solutions manual available which makes it impossible to check your work and confirm if your knowledge about the problem is correct. I've used and read many different engineering textbooks and this is by far the worst I have encountered, which is depressing because this seems to be the staple book for students at UCLA. My distaste for the book is so steadfast that I would recommend you take the class elsewhere if your instructor assigns this text.

 Dynamics Jul 02, 2008
By Cristina I. Wright
very difficult to follow.
The examples are easy enough to follow, but the homework is difficult.
Not having the answers in the back of the book, also makes it difficult.
There are answers online, but to selected problems only, and they are not always right.
