Research and Markets: Meriam Engineering Mechanics: Statics, SI 6th Edition Provides a Wide Variety of High Quality Problems that are Known for their Accuracy and Realism

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83123) has announced the
addition of "Meriam Engineering Mechanics: Statics, SI 6th Edition" to
their offering.

Meriam and Kraige provide the most comprehensive coverage of how
to draw free body diagrams. Through text discussion and assignable
homework problems students will learn that drawing free body diagrams
is the most important skill needed to learn how to solve mechanics
problems. Meriam and Kraige teach students the appropriate techniques
and then apply them consistently in solutions of mechanics problems.

Over the past 50 years, Meriam & Kraige's Engineering Mechanics:
Statics has established a highly respected tradition of excellence - a
tradition that emphasizes accuracy, rigor, clarity, and applications.
Now in a Sixth Edition, this classic text builds on these strengths,
adding a comprehensive course management system, Plus, to the text,
including an e-text, homework management, animations of concepts, and
additional teaching and learning resources. New sample problems, new
homework problems, and updates to content make the book more
accessible. The Sixth Edition continues to provide a wide variety of
high quality problems that are known for their accuracy, realism,
applications, and variety motivating students to learn and develop
their problem solving skills. To build necessary visualization and
problem-solving skills, the Sixth Edition continues to offer
comprehensive coverage of drawing free body diagrams-- the most
important skill needed to solve mechanics problems.
