It aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear, and to teach students by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying.
Physics is a description of reality, and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can directly relate to. We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic.
Not only does this make the material more interesting and easier to understand, but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced. Great effort has been made to keep important derivations and arguments on facing pages. Arrows over boldface symbols are now used to denote vectors in text and in art.
Provides consistency with the way students write vectors in homework and the way professors write vectors on the board. These multiple-choice questions at the beginning of each Chapter immediately engage students with key Chapter concepts, presenting common student misconceptions. Students revisit the COQs later in the Chapter, as an Exercise, to see if their answers have changed.
Answers to all Exercises are given at the end of the Chapter. Gives students an overview of Chapter topics without forcing them to turn back to the TOC. Added to many worked-out Examples after the Solution, these Notes sometimes remark on the solution itself, mention an application, or give an alternate approach to solving the problem. Integrated throughout the Chapters, Exercises give students a chance to check their understanding through practice before they proceed to other topics.
In most Chapters, with an optional introduction in Section , these are optional and often level III Problems grouped together at the end of most Chapters. These problems require a numerical solution, often requiring a computer, spreadsheet, or programmable calculator to do the sums.
