Physics: Volume 2

Written for the full year or three term Calculus-based University Physics course for science and engineering majors, the publication of the first edition of Physics in 1960 launched the modern era of Physics textbooks. It was a new paradigm at the time and continues to be the dominant model for all texts. Physics is the most realistic option for schools looking to teach a more demanding course. The entirety of Volume 2 of the 5th edition has been edited to clarify conceptual development in light of recent findings of physics education research. End-of-chapter problem sets are thoroughly over-hauled, new problems are added, outdated references are deleted, and new short-answer conceptual questions are added.

Physics: Student Edition 2017 (HMH Physics #Vol. 2)

Physics: The Foundational Science

This book makes physics understandable and provides thorough and detailed explanations with a touch of humor, which helps students grasp the most perplexing questions. Wherever possible, the principles of physics are illustrated by everyday experience and practical devices. Students are shown how the many kinds of technology from the camera to the car actually function. Numerous illustrative problems are solved in detail. <p><p>This textbook can play an important role in showing students the harmony between scientific knowledge and Christian belief. The text is firmly grounded on the view that we live in a God-created world governed by laws discoverable by reverent scientific inquiry. Interspersed throughout the text are biographies of great physicists who were also Bible-believing Christians.

Physics

This introduction to algebra-based physics involves readers actively in a guided learn-by-doing process-sensing when they need a very patient exposition and when they need only minimal reinforcement, when they need to focus on concepts and when they need an opportunity to practice their quantitative skills. At the heart of the volume are worked examples in a unique, two-column format that focuses on the basic strategies and step-by-step thought processes involved in problem solving-with an emphasis on the relationship between the physical concepts and their mathematical expression.
