Rating: - The most thorough but easy to understand textbook that I have used so far in my Degree
This is easily go to be one of the best books that I have ever used for a core Mechanical Engineering subject. In each chapter the explanation of content is very thorough and the examples are explained in reference to the text, unlike some textbooks that skip steps or do not explain algebraic signs. It also has many sections explaining the real life relevance of the content and all the examples are very beneficial to improving your understanding.
Additionally there are videos that demonstrate ... Read More
Rating: - Fast Delivery, New Condition, Consistently Satisfied
This is exactly the text I needed (because of course, no one's going to order Fundamentals of Fluid Mech. by accident). I ordered directly from Amazon with this one, as opposed to one of Amazon's associated vendors. Because I ordered from Amazon, I received the book a day or two ahead of their projection (which is typical), and the book was packaged with care to preserve its new condition (which is also typical). I plan to order some other texts from Amazon very soon, and do not mind paying the extra $4 or ... Read More
Rating: - Fluid Reading
The material is broken down in a manageable fashion. It can get a little too mathematical sometimes with all the proofs, but overall is effective in explaining difficult concepts. The videos off the accompanied student site i find are very helpful but the rest of the stuff off that site i have yet to use. Overall not a bad book to use for a topic that get real messy (especially in lab).
Rating: - Good Book
Great book, easy to follow and a lot of good information. Was a lot of help getting through the class.
Rating: - No complaints here!
I bought this textbook so I wouldn't have to pay the University's terrible prices (more than twice the price actually). I received the book in the exact same condition advertised, very promptly, and for a much better price... I'm very pleased!
