Reviews

Rarely does a concise book come along that combines such depth and breadth. I enjoyed the conversational tone of the book that blended historical background with complete and detailed mathematical derivations. This is an important work and has a valuable place in any dynamicist's library. -- Todd DePauw, The Boeing Company This book manages to strike a unique balance between theoretical derivation and practical explanation by example. The Back Pocket Dynamicist demystifies what is often considered a highly complex subject to be avoided at all costs. It is truly a ""must have"" book that deserves a high-profile slot on any engineer's bookshelf. -- Julian Sharpe, CEO IDEA International
