<br/><br/> Takes an applications-based approach at teaching students to apply previously learned engineering principles while laying a foundation for engineering design. This text offers a review of the principles of dynamics so that terminology and notation are consistent and applies them to derive mathematical models of dynamic mechanical systems.
