There are no required textbooks for the class. Lecture notes will be available in advance before each lecture. You should read them before coming to class.
The main reference book for the course beyond the lecture notes (and a good source for example problems) is:
Meriam, J. L., and L. G. Kraige. Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics. 6th ed. New York, NY: Wiley, 2006. ISBN: 9780471739319.
