This competitively priced package combines Mechanics for Statics, 4/e (0-07-004580-1) with Mechanics for Dynamics, 4/e (0-07-004582-8). These scalar-based introductory engineering mechanics texts, ideally suited for engineering technology programs, provide first-rate treatment of rigid bodies without vector mechanics. The fourth edition provides an extensive selection of new problems and end-of-chapter summaries. The texts bring the careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail that have made Beer and Johnston texts the standard for excellence in engineering mechanics education. See the individual text ISBNs above for more information.
Ferdinand Pierre Beer (1915–2003) was a French mechanical engineer and university professor. He spent most of his career as a member of the faculty at Lehigh University, where he served as the chairman of the mechanics and mechanical engineering departments. His most significant contribution was the co-authorship of several textbooks in the field of mechanics, which have been widely cited and utilized in engineering education.
