Rate this book
Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the tenth edition of Beer, Johnston, Mazurek, and Cornwell's Vector Mechanics for Engineers provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students. Nearly forty percent of the problems in the text are changed from the previous edition. The Beer/Johnston textbooks introduced significant pedagogical innovations into engineering mechanics teaching. The consistent, accurate problem-solving methodology gives your students the best opportunity to learn statics and dynamics. At the same time, the careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made these texts the standard for excellence.

I read the fourth edition, which combined statics and dynamics all neatly packed into 926 pages! Statics was phenomenal and I soaked up an amazing amount that quarter. Dynamics, not so much. Maybe because the topics is more challenging than Statics. Good job Beer & Johnston (E. Russell Johnston, Jr. - co-author).

Better be at the top of your game to try this textbook on your own. Before trying this book you should have completed statics, the analysis of bodies at rest. When I took Dynamics at NIU, I used this book to enhance my understanding. I don't think I could have gotten through this book without a professors guidance in the class.

The only sections of the book you really need to read are the summary sections that come right before each set of problems.
