Physics One

Résumé du livre

A radical new approach to teaching freshman physics! A textbook students can afford to buy! -- Physics One presents calculus-based, university-level mechanics at a price students can afford. The volume arises from the decades I spent teaching freshman mechanics. In Physics One's 430 pages, I present Newtonian mechanics, reveal a new approach to lab exercises without expensive equipment, and advance to harmonic oscillators.Calculus-based? Calculus appears systematically, not as an afterthought. University-level? Homework requires symbolic reasoning, not punching numbers into pocket calculators. From the beginning, forces and accelerations are three-vectors, not scalars.
