Summary:
This textbook is intended for a course in introductory physics for students majoring in science or engineering.... This introductory physics textbook has two main objectives: to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and to strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of ... applications to the real world. To meet these objectives, [the authors] have placed emphasis on sound physical arguments and problem-solving methodology.... The material in this book covers fundamental topics in classical physics and provides an introduction to modern physics. -Pref.Read more...
