A primary objective in a first course in mechanics is to help develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving mechanics problems. This edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers will help instructors achieve these goals. Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, this edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students. This edition has undergone a complete rewrite to modernize and streamline the language through the text. Over 650 of the homework problems in the text are new or revised. One of the characteristics of the approach used in this book is that mechanics of particles is clearly separated from the mechanics of rigid bodies. This approach makes it possible to consider simple practical applications at an early stage and to postpone the introduction of the more difficult concepts. McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty. Review: Good condition - Good condition as mentioned. Same book I used in school, awesome. Thanks Review: Great deal, but heavy. The book description is misleading, don't expect online activation code. - This is a heavy 2-1/8" thick book, but it will save you money if you have to take both statics and dynamics! Does not include access to McGraw Hill online material (activation code). I already have an account with MH Connect from other books I've owned, but it seems I can't get access to the engineering content without some kind of instructor invite first, then probably an activation code. So unless your instructor specified you will be using online content, don't sweat it, just get the book. It's pretty decent from what I've seen so far anyway.

Way too expensive to be missing a McGraw connect code.
This book seems eh..okay. For $255 the pages aren't exactly glossy. The content of the book might be fine, but I wanted to review this product to warn people about one thing in particular. More and more professors are asking people to log on using the publisher's proprietary homework system, in this case McGraw Connect. For this amount of money it certainly seemed like this book would include some free time using that system. Usually they come with a code that you tear out, which is the only reason you'd buy a new book instead of an old one. This did not include a code. The code costs an additional $120 for a year of access. That is beyond crazy. This is why people pirate textbooks or at the very least don't buy new ones. I just thought people should know, I returned this book as soon as I got it. Statics and Dynamics haven't changed a bit in probably 30 years, and bad on my professor for being complicit in these schemes to require new books and editions. Education is expensive enough as it is.
