KirishThe tremendous growth of scientific knowledge over the past 50 years has resulted
in an intense pressure on the engineering curricula of many universities to substitute
“modern” subjects in place of subjects perceived as weaker or outdated. The result
is that, for some, the kinematics and dynamics of machines has remained a critical
component of the curriculum and a requirement for all mechanical engineering students,
while at others, a course on these subjects is only made available as an elective topic for
specialized study by a small number of engineering students. Some schools, depending
largely on the faculty, require a greater emphasis on mechanical design at the expense
of depth of knowledge in analytical techniques. Rapid advances in technology, however,
have produced a need for a textbook that satisfies the requirement of new and changing
course structures.
