A Comprehensive Introduction Engineering Dynamics by N. Jeremy Kasdin, Derek A. Paley



"There are few courses in the engineering curriculum that cause students more difficulty than rigid-body dynamics. By laying out the foundations of the subject with precision and clarity through unambiguous notation and rigorous definitions, Engineering Dynamics goes a long way toward remedying this situation. Numerous examples with motivating applications demonstrate the underlying ideas and solution techniques. This landmark text stands apart in the field, and will be welcomed by students and instructors alike."

Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion by Benson H. Tongue

Dynamics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Motion by Benson H. Tongue

The second edition provides engineers with a conceptual understanding of how dynamics is applied in the field. It builds their problem-solving skills. New problems with a wider variety of difficulty levels and applications have been added. An online problem-solving tool is available to reinforce how to find solutions. New images are included to add a visual element to the material. These show the link between an actual system and a modeled/analyzed system. Engineers will also benefit from the numerous new worked problems, algorithmic problems, and multi-part GO problems.

Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics by Daniel Kaplan, Leon Glass

Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics by Daniel Kaplan, Leon Glass


This book presents the main concepts and applications of nonlinear dynamics at an elementary level. The book is based on a one-semester undergraduate course that has been given since 1975 at McGill University and has been constantly updated to keep up with current developments. Based on the authors' successful course for undergraduate students in the biological sciences, the primer presents the main concepts of non-linear dynamics at a level requiring only one year of calculus.

Applied Logic Series; A Textbook of Belief Dynamics Solutions Manual by Sven Ove Hansson

Applied Logic Series; A Textbook of Belief Dynamics Solutions Manual by Sven Ove Hansson



The mid-1980s saw the discovery of logical tools that make it possible to model changes in belief and knowledge in entirely new ways. These logical tools turned out to be applicable to both human beliefs and to the contents of databases. Philosophers, logicians, and computer scientists have contributed to making this interdisciplinary field one of the most exciting in the cognitive scientists - and one that is expanding rapidly.



Student Solutions Manual To Chemistry, Structure and Dynamics by James N. Spencer, George M. Bodner, Lyman H. Rickard

Student Solutions Manual To Chemistry, Structure and Dynamics by James N. Spencer, George M. Bodner, Lyman H. Rickard
Spencer's Chemistry: Structure and Dynamics is the most successful reform project published for the General Chemistry course. The authors have built the text on the recommendations of the ACS's Task Force on the General Chemistry Curriculum and suggestions from the adopters of previous editions. This innovative text provides a sixteen-chapter introduction to the fundamental concepts of chemistry. The material is supplemented by special topics at the end of each chapter. There are three major themes that link the content of the book: the process of science, the relationship between molecular structure and physical/chemical properties, and the relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic levels. Spencer's Chemistry can work successfully in both small and large lecture courses.
