Physics, Vol. I

by James S. Walker

This text is designed to help students improve their conceptual understanding of physics hand in hand with the development of their problem-solving skills. Walker (Washington State U.) replaces traditional examples with an integrated set of learning tools, including fully worked and active examples that focus on basic strategies and thought processes, conceptual checkpoints, and exercises. The 32 chapters cover mechanics, thermal physics, electromagnetism, light and optics, and modern physics. Illustrated with color charts and photographs. Annotation c.
