A textbook for a first-semester algebra-based introductory physics course, covering mechanics, rotation, fluids, harmonic motion, and thermodynamics.

This book is volume 2 of the two-volume Essential Physics series, covering electricity and magnetism, DC circuits, waves and optics, and giving a brief introduction to modern physics. The book is aimed at the second half of a typical algebra-based introductory physics sequence, such as that taken by life science and pre-medical students.
