Description
* Can be utilized in either Algebra or Calculus-based courses and is available either as a standalone text or as a supplement for books like Cutnell PHYSICS, 5e or Halliday, Resnick, & Walker FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS, 6e.
* Math level is Algebra & Trigonometry; however, a few examples require the use of integration and differentiation.
* Unlike competing supplements, Tuszinski offers both a wealth of engaging biomedical applications as well as quantitative problem-solving. The quantitative problem-solving is presented in the form of worked examples and homework problems.
* The quantitative problem-solving is presented in the form of worked examples and homework problems.
* The standard organization facilitates the integration of the material into most introductory courses.
