DESCRIPTION:
Hibbeler empowers students to succeed in the whole learning experience. Hibbeler achieves this by calling on his everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn inside and outside of lecture. In addition to over 50% new homework problems, the twelfth edition introduces the new elements of Conceptual Problems, Fundamental Problems and MasteringEngineering, the most technologically advanced online tutorial and homework system. . In his substantial revision of Engineering Mechanics, R.C
Pooft Lee said good condition, and concepts are explained fairly well. It is, in fact a bookJokes aside, good condition, and concepts are explained fairly well. Keeping it as a reference text. "Not thorough, full of errors" according to David. So, the book has most of the basics of statics layed out decently, but there were many small errors in examples and homework problems. There was even a disastrous mistake in the friction of screws section; two equations were switched places, which completely screws (pun intended) you up!Other than that, the examples in each section cover the basic cases well, but then the homework introduces all sorts of little changes in the problem as you get toward the higher problems, and the sections do no good in explaining these changes. Its as if Hibbeler thinks every student will unders. reviewer said Does it's job.. It's a good book with not much theory, but a lot of straight problems and solutions. Would definitely recommend a solutions manual or some sort of supplemental instruction because not all problems are straightforward.
