Synopsis

For two-semester, freshman/sophomore level algebra-based courses in Applied Physics.

Designed to help students understand some physics - rather than just being exposed to it - this text integrates math and physics using numerous applications and examples to help students learn how to solve problems. By developing the math in the context of real situations, it not only shows the utility of the mathematical methods, but also easily defuses students' math phobia. The first part of the text deals with how things move and why they move (e.g., linear and circular motion, momentum, work and energy and thermodynamics ); the second part introduces electromagnetic concepts (e.g., voltage, current, resistance, electrical and magnetic forces, capacitance and induction, optics and nuclear physics) - phrasing many of the “new” concepts in old ideas to show how electromagnetic problems often break down into mechanics problems.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This algebra-based text offers a new approach to applied physics by bridging physics theory and practice with any necessary math coverage integrated into the text. Although mathematical formalism is at a minimum, the book develops mathematical ways of looking at physics to enable the reader to truly understand physics equations (not simply memorize the equations). Physical concepts are developed, equations are derived, and the concepts and equations are applied to real-world and complete step-by-step examples to promote student understanding. As needed, cross-references to a Math Review appendix are included in the margin.

Features

• StudyWizard e-tutorial CD-ROM packaged with each textbook

• Friendly, conversational writing style
• Cross-references to Math Review and Calculator Usage appendices
• Answers to all end-of-chapter Exercises to encourage students to work through exercises
• Chapter Summary that includes problem-solving tips, calculator tips, and dimensional analysis coverage
• Key Concepts summary of terminology
• Important Equations summary
• Conceptual Problems
• Exercises divided into chapter subsections, with advanced problems identified
