-
- Here are a few I don't think Ron mentioned.
-
- Very Basic - Beer/Johnston's Vector Mechanics for Engineers-Dynamics
- McGraw Hill
-
- My favorite, grad level - Greenwood's Principles of Dynamics, Prentice Hall
-
- Also, from Dover (Cheap), - Thomson's Intro to Space Dynamics
-
- Avoid Meirovitch's Methods of Analytical Dynamics. It covers a lot of
- different topics, but as a teaching text, it doesn't explain anything.
-
- Good luck
