STATICS & DYNAMICS
STATICS & DYNAMICS: This is an engineering statics and dynamics text. It is both an introduction, aimed primarily at middle-level engineering students, and a reference. The book emphasizes use of vectors,free-body diagrams, momentum and energy balance and computation. More importantly, perhaps, the book is meant to help build an intuition for mechanics.
Prerequisite and co-requisite skills. We assume you start with some math skills.
- Freshman calculus. Readers are assumed to have facility with the basic geometry, algebra, trigonometry, differentiation and integration used in elementary calculus. Some of these topics are briefly reviewed in this book, but not as ab initio tutorials.
- STATICS & DYNAMICS shows how to set-up algebra can differential equations for computer solution. You need to know,or be simultaneously learning,a computer language or package which can solve sets of line algebraic equations, numerically integrate simple ordinary differential equations and make decent plots.
You may have had exposure to other useful subjects detailed foreknowledge of which this book does not assume
- Completion of freshman physics may help but is not needed.
- Vector topics, especially dot and cross products, are introduced here from scratch in the context of mechanics.
- A background in linear algebra wouldn’t hurt, but the reduction of linear equations to matrix form is taught here. A key fact from linear algebra, also presented here, is that linear algebraic equations are usually easy to solve on a computer.
- A course in differential equations would also add perspective. But the basic concepts of differential equations are presented here as needed.
