Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a concise, accessible introduction to general physics for the calculus-based course taken by science and engineering students. Updated, this edition focuses on essential principles rather than advanced topics, using frequent real-world examples (with solutions) from biology, geology, electronics, music and other fields to reinforce physical concepts. The book introduces classical physics gradually, in order to aid the development of problem-solving skills and provides sufficient mathematical material so that students may work through the material independently.
