Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this book too hard for a first year BSc student?
It is tougher than most standard Indian mechanics textbooks, so it works best once you already have basic mechanics concepts in place.
Should I use this instead of my regular textbook or alongside it?
Most students use it alongside their regular textbook to build a deeper understanding, not as a replacement.
Does it have solutions to the problems?
The second edition includes a hints and answers section for end of chapter problems, which helps you check your work.
