Synopsis

This text presents the foundations and applications of statics by emphasizing the importance of visual analysis of topics―especially through the use of free body diagrams. This text also promotes a problem-solving approach to solving examples through its strategy, solution, discussion format in examples. Bedford/Fowler further includes design and computational examples that help instructors integrate these ABET 2000 requirements.
