David Poole's innovative book emphasizes vectors and geometric intuition from the start and better prepares students to make the transition from the computational aspects of the course to the theoretical. Poole covers vectors and vector geometry first to enable students to visualize the mathematics while they are doing matrix operations. With a concrete understanding of vector geometry, students are able to visualize and understand the meaning of the calculations that they will encounter.
Presenting the fundamental concepts that are required for further study and research in this field, Principles of Biomechanics focuses on biosystems and the human body in particular. After a brief introduction to the concepts of biosystem modeling, the book discusses elementary mechanics, including methods of analysis, and introduces the human skeletal anatomy. Subsequent chapters address the mechanics of deformable bodies, dynamics, tissue biomechanics, ergonomics, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and circulatory systems. With a wide range of examples and problems, this complete text also provides numerical procedures and specific applications in performance, injury, and rehabilitation.
