Title: A very bad book to learn from
Review: I've been using this book for half a quarter so far in my introduction to mechanical vibrations class. It is by far one of the worst engineering books I have yet used. The examples are extremely bad. Most of the process is skipped in the examples and only a few steps are shown. The text itself is extremely difficult to understand and hard to follow. There are very few simple problems adequately explained. The answers in the back of the book are far to often wrong and the professor has to send out the real answers via email. Most people in my class have wasted countless hours trying find our error only to discover the book is wrong. I have never sold back a college textbook before, but I think this one is going to get that special honor. Avoid this book at all costs, if you must use it for class, consider asking your professor for a good "reference" book (read, replacement book) that covers the material.
