Designed to help students learn physics & get good exam scores, this book is filled with solved problems. Unlike other books, all problems are solved with FREE, full solutions. The solutions have been improved by 10+ years of student feedback. It is the quality of the solutions which truly sets this book apart. Volume 1 covers the first 6 weeks of the typical university physics course with topics including: Sig figs, scientific & engineering notation, dimensional analysis, unit conversions 1D motion (1D kinematics) with algebra, calculus, & graphing Vectors in both Cartesian & polar forms, vector addition (graphical & component-wise) Cross products & dot products 2D & 3D kinematics (including projectiles) Newton's laws and force problems (some without friction, some with friction, & some with circular motion) You can try chapter 1 for free by reading the back cover of my book (amazon does not allow me to give a website in this description). Try a few problems while looking at the solutions & I am confident you will find the book useful. Note: the problems in each chapter start out easy (high school level) but by the end, if you want them, there are problems which challenge even the most bad-ass university student majoring in physics.

A useful scientific theory, claimed Einstein, must be explicable to any intelligent person. In Deep Down Things, experimental particle physicist Bruce Schumm has taken this dictum to heart, providing in clear, straightforward prose an elucidation of the Standard Model of particle physics -- a theory that stands as one of the crowning achievements of twentieth-century science. In this one-of-a-kind book, the work of many of the past century's most notable physicists, including Einstein, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Feynman, Gell-Mann, and Weinberg, is knit together in a thorough and accessible exposition of the revolutionary notions that underlie our current view of the fundamental nature of the physical world. Schumm, who has spent much of his life emmersed in the subatomic world, goes far beyond a mere presentation of the "building blocks" of matter, bringing to life the remarkable connection between the ivory tower world of the abstract mathematician and the day-to-day, life-enabling properties of the natural world. Schumm leaves us with an insight into the profound open questions of particle physics, setting the stage for understanding the progress the field is poised to make over the next decade or two. Introducing readers to the world of particle physics, Deep Down Things opens new realms within which are many clues to unraveling the mysteries of the universe.
