Description
This text has a unique, new, approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles, consistent problem solving coverage strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior media support, Giambattista, Richardson, and Richardson delivers a product that addresses today's market needs with the best tools available. Physics 1st edition is a spin-off of the market leading College Physics 2nd edition text by Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson. The key difference in in College Physics there is an integrated approach of forces and kinematics, leading with forces, while in this new 1st edition, Physics covers forces in the traditional manner by leading with Kinematics and not integrating forces.
