5.0 out of 5 stars I went from hating Mechanics to loving it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2014

As someone who struggled immensely with Mechanics during A Levels in the past, I for one can say this book is the book to get for anyone who has difficulty with the subject.

The examples alone would've been enough to make me get this book as the do an amazing job of building you up from the basics to the more challenging questions.

A must buy for anyone who deals with Mechanics whether it's in Maths or Physics.

the best book of mechanics I ever read. it helped me a lot. but when it comes to centre of mass and centre of gravity the method it used can be made easy so its the only struggle with it .Overall I got 96 in my A-level mechanics because of this book

This is the outstanding text on the market for 'A' level Mechanics pupils. A tough subject is made accessible with an articulate writing style, loads of examples and questions, including past exam questions. Clear, precise and thorough and pupils will enjoy using it and rapidly gain confidence addressing Dynamics & Statics problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars best purchase Ive made for applied mathematics
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2017

Applied mathematics has always been the one aspect I tend to struggle with. This book makes mechanics, dynamics, forces, Newtonian laws and such easy to grasp.
Only wish I'd found this book far earlier in my study.

Great Book, the topics explanation is clear, simply and well supported by real life example and many exercises.
It's a book for people loving mechanics and applied physics.
