Zero Challenge Statics

Zero Challenge Statics (ZCS) provides: 1) pictorial table of contents, 2) class notes, 3) 281 stand alone solved problems (all formulas used & each step shown on one page), 4) visual ergonomics, 5) formula derivations, 6) clear organization. The Pictorial Table of Contents allows finding a problem type of interest & directs the user to the page analyzing the problem. Solved problems envelope all types of examples found in most popular Statics books. ZCS is a self help book supplementing class material negating the need for: 1) old exams, 2) study groups, & 3) professor office hours. ZCS provides white space throughout the class notes allowing in class personalization. The class notes are perfect for professors who prefer using their own notes instead of an expensive textbook. (Professors are allowed to make 1 set of viewgraphs, of the class notes, for over head projecting on a screen.) This reduces time writing on the black board and allows more time for questions and answers. ZCS is designed as a learning & teaching tool & as a handbook useable in industry. Working technical people can use the Pictorial Table of Contents to locate a problem of interest & instantly find an analysis approach. ZCS was assigned as the class text at a small Midwestern university for several years
