Product Description:
***Book is published and available as of 6/03!!!
For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials education. At the same time, their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The new Seventh Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics continues this tradition.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great book, would be great with soln manual
This is a great book (aside from the one by Meriam and Kriege). Illustrations are clear, examples were clear with no steps missing. However...some problems are on the challenging side--great for training engineers, but not cool for homework without a solutions manual for the sticky (and usually even numbered) problems. Recommended nonethless!
Rating:  - Vector Mech Engin Statics
When I receive that book, it is packed with plastic sheet. It seems brand new because it is not opened yet. But, actually it is not because there are a few pages missing at the back of the book. Those pages are assumed as "The Answer Pages" of the problems from the whole book. I had to copy those pages from one of my friends. It is mestery!!!
NAY OO
SOE OHN
Rating:  - Very clear and well illustrated
Maybe, I just pick up these concepts easily. I found this book very useful and extremely easy to understand. The sample problems are detailed and very easy follow. The "Solving Problems on Your Own" at the end of the each section provides an excellent review and will be a terrific reference. It is one of the best textbooks I have read.
I can only think of a couple things that would have made it better for me. For instance, I think they could improve there coverage of finding centroids ... Read More
Rating: - Decent Book, you get back what you put out
As a course statics isn't an easy class, and it isn't easy to explain a lot of times. This book shows enough of the steps in the example necessary to at least get started. Although it forces you at times to make conceptual connections/leaps, it is necessary because once you see the logic, you can do any problem. Statics is a class where you get a lot of different problems, but the logic/steps to solve the problem never changes.
Rating:  - Statics is silly, take calc III instead.
I do not recommend this book. This textbook is difficult to follow, it is difficult to grasp new concepts from the book. This book is not detailed enough, it often does not show all the steps that are taken in an example problem; this makes it difficult to understand many of the problems, especially the more difficult ones. I would also suggest that if it is possible, take calculus III before you take statics.Calculus III gives a much better and more thorough explaintion of the basis of vector mechanics. ... Read More
