College Physics

Ninth Edition - Brooks/Cole, 2012. - 1152 р. While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories-theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Ninth Edition, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, the text includes exclusive test prep and review tools to help you prepare.

Intended for biology and social science students, this textbook explains Newtonian mechanics, the physics of fluid, heat and thermodynamics, wave motion and sound, the concepts of electricity and magnetism, the properties of light, relativity, and quantum physics. The worked examples in the seventh edition are presented in a two- column format. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
