By James H. Williams Jr.
A coherent unification of Newtonian and Lagrangian dynamics. Formulates and solves equations of motions with an emphasis on solutions of linear mechanical systems. Numerous examples, ranging from simple to complex, expose readers to a variety of nuances that arise in a broad range of extremely useful models. The 12 appendices provide underlying theoretical and mathematical support for the text thus streamlining the main presentation as well as enhancing its structure.

Fundamentals of Applied Dynamics by James H. Williams Jr. Review
I am a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University, College Station. To keep my knowledge and concepts of dynamics up to date, I have been referring to this book and I find it is one of the most well-written textbook, with thoroughly worked out examples and clear explanations. I have enjoyed reading this book. The way in which author has clarified and applied the Indirect Approach(Lagrangian/Hamilton Formulations) for the equations of motion formulation is very illustrative and clear of all ambiguities. This is a great favour of author since this approach is particularly powerful and extremely important for complicated electro-mechanical systems in particular and all dynamical systems in general.
Finally, I respectfully disagree with Mr.Daine (from Boston, MA) to have made such ignorant and un-educated remarks about such a brilliant piece of work. I believe Mr.Daine has been looking for some short-cut type, particular problem solving textbook that will never lay the foundations but solve some limited problems of immediate interest, never illustrating the complete framework. In other words, telling the truth, but not the whole truth. That is how any subject, with dynamics no exception, becomes obscure and horrible to students. But this book is all about laying the foundations and making you enjoy the process of learning, while never straying away from the main objective of all engineering analysis: Design. Hence it is a great book.
