Physics is intended for a two-semester college course in introductory physics using algebra and trigonometry. Our main goals in writing this book are
- to present the basic concepts of physics that students need to know for later courses and future careers,
- to emphasize that physics is a tool for understanding the real world, and
- to teach transferable problem-solving skills that students can use throughout their lives.
Physics is based on the second edition of the authors? College Physics. with Chapters 2?4 reorganized to present kinematics before forces and Newton?s laws of motion.
