This primer is intended to provide the theoretical background for the standard undergraduate, mechanical engineering course in dynamics. It grew out of theauthor's desire to provide an affordable compliment to the standard texts on the subject in which the gap between the theory presented and the problems to be solved is oftentimes too large. The book contains several worked examples and at the end of each chapters summaries and exercises to aid the student in their understanding of the chapter. Teachers who wish to have a source of more detailed theory for the course, as well as graduate students who need a refresher course on undergraduate dynamics when preparing for certain first year graduate school examinations, and students taking the course will find the work very helpful. Many useful and important examples are provided Provides a good introduction to the subject Comprehensive in scope INDICE: Elementary Particle Dynamics.- Particles and Cylindrical Polar Coordinates.- Particles and Space Curves.- Friction Forces and Spring Forces.-Power,Work, and Energy.- Momenta, Impulses, and Collisions.- Dynamics of Systems of Particles.- Planar Kinematics of Rigid Bodies.-Kinetics of a Rigid Body.- Systems of Particles and Rigid Bodies.- A Preliminaries on Vectors and Calculus.- B Weekly Course Content and Notation in Other Texts.- References.- Index.
