Throughout the text, students enjoy clear and concise explanations, relevant real-world examples, and problems that help them master physics fundamentals.
Additionally, new applications have been added to make select topics more current and engaging, both throughout the text and, when possible, within problem sets. Essential College Physics Volume I is part of a two-volume set.
Essential College Physics Volume I provides students with an approachable and innovative introduction to key concepts in physics.
The text begins with six chapters on electricity and magnetism, culminating with a concluding chapter on electromagnetic waves and relativity. Following this are two chapters on optics - one on geometrical optics and another on wave optics.
This text is designed from the ground up to be concise and focused, resulting in a book that is less intimidating and easier to use, with well-coordinated explanations, art, worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems.
