Chapter 1: Introduction

"How do engineers design and construct the devices we use, from simple objects such as chairs and pencil sharpeners to complicated ones such as dams, cars, airplanes, and spacecraft? They must have a deep understanding of the physics underlying the design of these devices, and they must be able to use mathematical models to predict their behavior. Students of engineering begin to learn how to analyze and predict the behaviors of physical systems by studying mechanics."
