Whether it is analyzing the stability of an underwater robot or predicting the trajectory

of a satellite, todays engineers are solving increasingly difficult and unconventional
problems in dynamics. "Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics" provides students with all
of the foundations they need to solve problems in Newtonian mechanics. The authors
unique, methodological approach also helps students to develop their problem-solving,
abstract thinking, and spatial relations skills.

In each chapter, general concepts are presented first, followed by illustrated examples
and worked problems. Notation and methodology are consistently presented whenever
possible, so that the student will recognize principles common to particle dynamics,
system dynamics, and rigid body dynamics. The text is complemented by over XXX
figures, and early XXX problems help students to strengthen their skills. A supplementary
website with MAPLE animations is available at http://www.springer.com/physics/classical
+continuum+physics/book/978-0-387-00887-5.

Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics covers Newtonian mechanics, without Hamiltonian or

Lagrangian formalism. No further knowledge other than one year of calculus is required.

Dr. Roberto Tenenbaum has over 30 years of teaching experience. He is a professor of

Mechanical Engineering at the University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Some praise for the original edition:

"[Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics] contains a large number of examples treated in

great detail... The author takes great pains to carefully examine all the points touched
upon ... The material is presented in a very systematic way, almost always going from
the general to the more particular. The text is extremely clear and consistent, and all the
figures are of excellent quality... The careful, authoritative and comprehensive way in
which the material is presented reflects the long experience of the author in teaching
dynamics to generations of students."
