Description
For introductory calculus-based physics courses.
Volume I covers Mechanics. Volume II covers Electricity and Magnetism.
Suitable for use with any calculus-based physics text, this stand-alone collection of problems gives students extensive practice applying the central concepts of physics - i.e., the ones most likely to "show up on tests." It includes exceptionally detailed solutions that explain the relevant concepts and problem-solving skills involved.
