Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics

A coherent unification of Newtonian and Lagrangian dynamics. Formulates and solves equations of motions with an emphasis on solutions of linear mechanical systems. Numerous examples, ranging from simple to complex, expose readers to a variety of nuances that arise in a broad range of extremely useful models. The 12 appendices provide underlying theoretical and mathematical support for the text thus streamlining the main presentation as well as enhancing its structure.
