Since for many students this is their first encounter with physics, I introduce new concepts by qualitative and intuitive discussions whenever possible. And to motivate students and to maintain their enthusiasm, I have drawn on examples from sports, biology, medicine, and everyday life, chosen to match the background and special interests of the students.

- Achapter overview that previews what is to come in the chapter and connects the chapter to previously covered material -Essential terms for review -Key concepts that expand and clarify the ideas discussed in the text -Sample problems that alternate worked problems with the author's solution with guided problems that help strengthen your problem-solving skills -Answers to all sample problems

The text presents a modern view of classical mechanics and electromagnetism for today's science and engineering students, including coverage of optics and quantum physics and emphasizing the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic phenomena.Organized to address specific concepts and then build on them, this highly readable text divides each chapter into short, focused sections followed by review questions. Using real-world examples, the authors offer a glimpse of the practical applications of physics in science and engineering, developing a solid conceptual foundation before...
