Description
* Cutnell and Johnson has been the Number one text in the algebra-based physics market for over 20 years. Over 250,000 students have used the book as the equipment they need to build their problem-solving confidence, push their limits, and be successful.
* The tenth edition continues to offer material to help the development of conceptual understanding, and show the relevance of physics to readers lives and future careers.
* Helps the reader to first identify the physics concepts, then associate the appropriate mathematical equations, and finally to work out an algebraic solution
