LEVEL: This book covers waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light from physics with calculus at the university level.
(If instead you're looking for a trig-based physics book, search for ISBN 1941691188.
) Note that the calculus-based edition includes all of material from the trig-based book, plus coverage of the calculus-based material.
In this volume, the calculus is mostly limited to thermal physics.
DESCRIPTION: This combination of physics study guide and workbook focuses on essential problem-solving skills and strategies: Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard university physics problems.
Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units.
Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples.
Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise.
Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained.
VOLUME: This volume covers waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light, including simple harmonic motion, standing waves, the Doppler effect, Archimedes' principle, the laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, principles of optics, Snell's law, thin lenses, spherical mirrors, diffraction, interference, polarization, and more.
AUTHOR: The author, Dr.
Chris Mc Mullen, has over 20 years of experience teaching university physics in California, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana (and has also taught physics to gifted high school students).
Mc Mullen currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana.
He has also published a half-dozen papers on the collider phenomenology of superstring-inspired large extra dimensions.
Chris Mc Mullen earned his Ph.
in particle physics from Oklahoma State University (and his M.
in physics from California State University, Northridge).
Mc Mullen is well-known for: engaging physics students in challenging ideas through creativitybreaking difficult proble.
