Product Description

Product Description
This volume deals with Mechanics and the solving of mechanical problems with the help of Pure Mathematics. An appreciation of the properties of vectors is introduced at an early stage, and throughout the book problems are solved using vector methods where appropriate. Many worked examples are provided to illustrate each main development of a topic and a set of straight-forward problems follows each section. A selection of more challenging questions appears in the miscellaneous exercises at the end of most chapters with multiple-choice questions on most topics.

1.0 out of 5 stars Atrocious, 27 Feb 2009
As someone who is studying A-level mathematics and mechanics by distance-learning, I was prescribed this text for the mechanics modules together with the module-specific texts by Boardman et al. for the pure components.
Having sailed through the first two (pure) modules using those texts, I was then confronted with this monstrosity for mechanics.

Whatever you may think of the state of education generally, thank goodness that at least the quality of mathematics textbooks have improved over the years - this one deserves to be mercifully put out of its misery.

Illogical. Confusing. Deficient. Vague. Lacking in full, thorough or clear explanations.

I will be throwing this piece of rubbish in the bin.

5.0 out of 5 stars All time classic, 26 Dec 2007
I used to be a teacher, as a student I learnt from this book.
If you dont want to spend endless hours sifting through the right "module books" to find the topic you are looking to learn. Get this book. Its the best for A'level Mechanics.
