Product Description

This work aims to build and transmit the concepts of physics and the analytical skills to apply them, and build an appreciation for the underlying simplicity and unity in nature. Urone blends traditional topics covered in the introductory course with modern material, and familiar ideas from modern physics, such as the existence of atoms and the conversion of mass into energy, are incorporated early. Topics are introduced conceptually with a steady progression to precise definitions and analytical applications. The analytical aspect (problem solving) is tied back to the concept before moving on to another topic. Urone uses a four-part example and problem-solving mechanism to improve students' skills in solving problems, as well as understanding underlying concepts. The human, biological, and medical applications throughout the text are an important aspect of this work. By using human applications throughout the text, Urone encourages conceptual and analytical understanding of the material.
