Introduction to Geometry, 2nd Edition
Book Description
This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition. The Second Edition retains all the characterisitcs that made the first edition so popular: brilliant exposition, the flexibility permitted by relatively self-contained chapters, and broad coverage ranging from topics in the Euclidean plane, to affine geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, and topology. The Second Edition incorporates improvements in the text and in some proofs, takes note of the solution of the 4-color map problem, and provides answers to most of the exercises.

Advanced Dynamics
Review
“Throughout there are examples in the text which are natural and illustrate the ideas very well. There are also excellent collections of problems (with solutions) with each chapter which are challenging and good training in modelling particulate, rigid and jointed systems of considerable variety.” Contemporary Physics, Dr. C. Athorne, University of Glasgow, UK
“…a verty useful reference for the majority of mathematical methods applicable to particle and rigid body dynamics.” The Aeronautical Journal, Dr. H. R. Harrison
Book Description
Emphasizing learning through problem solving, Donald Greenwood analyzes in detail the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches to dynamics. He describes techniques that will improve computational efficiency considerably, especially when applied to complex dynamical systems. A key feature of his text is the inclusion of many proven examples and homework problems. The book is intended for use in graduate courses on dynamics and will appeal to practicing mechanical and aerospace engineers.
