Preface

Preface to the First Edition This primer is intended to provide the theoretical background for the standard undergraduate course in dynamics. This course is usually based on one of the following texts: Bedford and Fowler [7], Beer and Johnston [8], Hibbeler [50], Meriam and Kraige [63], Riley and Sturges [79], and Shames [85], among others. Although most teachers will have certain reservations about these texts, there appears to be a general consensus that the selection of problems each of them presents is an invaluable and essential aid for studying and understanding dynamics. I use Meriam and Kraige [63] when teaching such a course, that is referred to as ME104 and MEC ENG 104 at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). However, I have found that the gap between the theory presented in the aforementioned texts and the problems I wished my students to solve was too large. As a result, I prepared my own set of notes on the relevant theory, and I used
