Format:Paperback
I have used this book in my teaching and believe it to be an ideal first year book for every course from post 16+ technology courses to first year engineering degrees . The written style is very clear and easy to follow. Prof Dr. Carl Ross has worked for years in this area and this show a clear practical approach to the problems which the book takes you through step-by-step. An essential buy for all engineering, Marine technology or product design students who want an easy to follow text based on problems. From Dr Jasper Graham-Jones, Dept of Mechanical and Design Engineering, University of Portsmouth

Format:Paperback
This has been the most important book throughout my engineering foundation year at university. There are plenty of examples to practice from and much of the relavent topics were there. Well explained and went perfectly with the lectures that were given. Although it was never included in our reading list, it was a million times better than the recommended ones and cheaper! Topics covered in the 1st year undergraduate are also included, so I know this book will be with me for a while!

Great for learning and reference
It gives the bare basics which is ideal when learning and as a review. Not actually the book I was looking for (actually wanted Solid Mechanics by C Ross) but turned out to be a... Read more
