For the fourth edition the text has been revised throughout and outdated examples and problems have been replaced by a greater number of more recent ones. These revisions have been especially significant in the chapters on general dynamics and velocity and acceleration. In addition the inclusion of a new chapter on automatic control systems serves to introduce the student to this important topic.
