Reviews

"Mechanics of Machines does an excellent job covering the fundamentals and bringing in real-life applications. This is a wonderfully rich, yet succinct, assembly of fundamental
topics."--Amanul Haque, Pennsylvania State University
"This book is clearer and better written than any other book I have seen. It is a student-friendly book."--Oladipo Onipede Jr., Penn State Erie, The Behrend College
