The approach of the Beer and Johnston series has been appreciated by
hundreds of thousands of students over decades of engineering education.
Maintaining the proven methodology and pedagogy of the Beer and Johnson
series, Statics and Mechanics of Materials combines the theory and
application behind these two subjects into one cohesive text focusing on
teaching students to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner
and, then, to use fundamental and well-understood principles in the
solution.
The addition of Case Studies based on real-world engineering problems
provides students with an immediate application of the theory. A wealth
of problems, Beer and Johnston's hallmark sample problems, and valuable
review and summary sections at the end of each chapter, highlight the
key pedagogy of the text.
