Description

An undergraduate textbook in Mechanics which incorporates Mathematica to explore the basis of engineering design. Focuses on understanding mechanics conceptually and the transition from calculations to design concepts. The reader progresses from modeling free-body diagrams through writing the equations of motion and the constraint equations, and finally uses Mathematica to help solve numerical problems and investigate design parameters. Enables reader to solve problems for every angle or dimension.
