"The book is designed as an introductory course on railroad vehicle dynamics that is suitable for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students. It can also be used as a reference book by researchers and practicing engineers who commonly use general-purpose multibody system computer programs in the analysis, design, and performance evaluation of railroad vehicle systems." - Bojidar Cheshankov, Zentralblatt MATH, 2008, Vol. 1133"It is a heavily mathematical treatise on how railway vehicles move as they travel down the track . . . suitable for use by advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students interested in railway dynamics." – In Books-On-Line, November, 2008
