Engineering Statics is a free, open-source textbook appropriate for anyone who wishes to learn more about vectors, forces, moments, static equilibrium, and the properties of shapes. Specifically, it has been written to be the textbook for Engineering Mechanics: Statics, the first course in the Engineering Mechanics series offered in most university-level engineering programs.
This book’s content should prepare you for subsequent classes covering Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics and Mechanics of Materials. At its core, Engineering Statics provides the tools to solve static equilibrium problems for rigid bodies. The additional topics of resolving internal loads in rigid bodies and computing area moments of inertia are also included as stepping stones for later courses. We have endeavored to write in an approachable style and provide many questions, examples, and interactives for you to engage with and learn from.

The goals of this course are to give students a greater knowledge and understanding of mathematics and to help students develop new skills and concepts and enhance their problem-solving ability, all of which are necessary for the study of a science and engineering oriented calculus. MAT 196 is also designed to help students further develop and extend their critical thinking skills in a contextualized environment. You will achieve this goal by applying strategies presented by the instructor which are designed to help you interpret, analyze, evaluate, infer, and synthesize concepts studied in preparation for Calculus.
