Overview
This Primer is intended to provide the theoretical background for the standard undergraduate, mechanical engineering course in dynamics. The book contains several worked examples and summaries and exercises at the end of each chapter to aid readers in their understanding of the material. Teachers who wish to have a source of more detailed theory for the course, as well as graduate students who need a refresher course on undergraduate dynamics when preparing for certain first year graduate school examinations, and students taking the course will find the work very helpful.

MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS The book is carefully written and provides a good introduction to the subject. From the reviews of the second edition: The main objective of this primer is to reduce the gap between the theoretical framework and an undergraduate student's ability to solve typical problems of undergraduate dynamics. Well-selected problems illustrate a systematic four-step methodology for solving problems from the dynamics of single particles, of systems of particles, of a single rigid body, and of a system of particles and rigid bodies. ... At the end of each chapter some illustrative examples were added. (Franz Selig, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1201, 2011)
