About the author

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.

Reviews

[Mike Gardog]

I read the fourth edition, which combined statics and dynamics all neatly packed into 926 pages! Statics was phenomenal and I soaked up an amazing amount that quarter. Dynamics, not so much. Maybe because the topics is more challenging than Statics. Good job Beer & Johnston (E. Russell Johnston, Jr. - co-author).

this book is so helpful for engineering students

[Larry Gerovac]

Better be at the top of your game to try this textbook on your own. Before trying this book you should have completed statics, the analysis of bodies at rest. When I took Dynamics at NIU, I used this book to enhance my understanding. I don't think I could have gotten through this book without a professors guidance in the class.

wow. i totally hated everything about this book!

[Allie]

The only sections of the book you really need to read are the summary sections that come right before each set of problems.
