Designed to help students understand some physics - rather than just being exposed to it - this text integrates math and physics using numerous applications and examples to help students learn how to solve problems. By developing the math in the context of real situations, it not only shows the utility of the mathematical methods, but also easily defuses students' math phobia. The first part of the text deals with how things move and why they move (e.g., linear and circular motion, momentum, work and energy and thermodynamics ); the second part introduces electromagnetic concepts (e.g., voltage, current, resistance, electrical and magnetic forces, capacitance and induction, optics and nuclear physics) - phrasing many of the “new” concepts in old ideas to show how electromagnetic problems often break down into mechanics problems.
