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.

DESCRIPTION: This combination of study guide and workbook covers the following essential topics from modern physics:special relativity (concepts and mathematics)blackbody radiation (in-depth coverage)the photoelectric effect (concepts and equations)Schrödinger's equation (thorough solutions to the most basic problems: the step potential, barrier potential, and square well)the Compton effect (including the derivation)Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (in terms of momentum and also energy)the de Broglie relation (and related formulas)Bohr's model of the atom (includes dozens of equations)

DESCRIPTION: over 100 fully-solved examples step-by-step solutions with explanations standard problems from trig-based physics includes tables of equations, symbols, and units This volume covers motion, including uniform acceleration, vector addition, projectile motion, Newton's laws, conservation of energy, work, collisions, rotation, center of mass, moment of inertia, satellites, and more. (Vol. 2 covers electricity and magnetism, while Vol. 3 covers waves, fluids, heat, sound, and light. Vol.'s 2-3 will be released in the spring of 2017.) AUTHOR: The author, Dr. Chris McMullen, 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). Dr. McMullen 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 McMullen earned his Ph.D. in particle physics from Oklahoma State University (and his M.S. in physics from California State University, Northridge). Dr. McMullen is well-known for: engaging physics students in challenging ideas through creativity breaking difficult problems down into manageable steps providing clear and convincing explanations to subtle issues his mastery of physics and strong background in mathematics helping students become more fluent in practical math skills MATH REVIEW: Separate chapters cover essential algebra, geometry, and trigonometry skills. USES: This physics book serves two functions: It provides a variety of examples for how to solve fundamental physics problems. It's also the solutions manual to Essential Trig-based Physics Study Guide Workbook, ISBN 978-1-941691-14-4.

Calculus-Based Physics is an introductory physics textbook designed for use in the two-semester introductory physics course typically taken by science and engineering students. This item is part 1, for the first semester. Only the textbook in PDF format is provided here. To download other resources, such as text in MS Word formats, problems, quizzes, class questions, syllabi, and formula sheets, visit: http: //www.anselm.edu/internet/physics/cbphysics/index.html Calculus-Based Physics is now available in hard copy in the form of two black and white paperbacks at www.LuLu.com at the cost of production plus shipping. Note that Calculus-Based Physics is designed for easy photocopying. So, if you prefer to make your own hard copy, just print the pdf file and make as many copies as you need. While some color is used in the textbook, the text does not refer to colors so black and white hard copies are viable

Work through 125 standard physics problems with 125 fully-solved examples. Each example breaks the solution down to make it easier to understand, written explanations explain the math step-by-step.

The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this comprehensive workbook (with full solutions to every problem) to share his strategies for mastering calculus. This workbook covers a variety of essential calculus skills, including: derivatives of polynomials, trig functions, exponentials, and logarithms the chain rule, product rule, and quotient rule second derivatives how to find the extreme values of a function limits, including l'Hopital's rule antiderivatives of polynomials, trig functions, exponentials, and logarithms definite and indefinite integrals techniques of integration, including substitution, trig sub, and integration by parts multiple integrals The goal of this workbook isn't to cover every possible topic from calculus, but to focus on the most essential skills needed to apply calculus to other subjects, such as physics or engineering

This textbook provides everything you need to get through a basic physics course. It guides students through all the essentials with a concise review of the concept, simple illustrations to demonstrate it, worked problems to showcase how to apply it, and a short quiz for self-testing. Whereas other standard books can be overwhelming to students, the author shares what has worked with his own students, trimming back unnecessary detail and focusing on the core basic physical concepts required to gain solid footing. The full range of topics are addressed in a manner that facilitates understanding and will encourage students to continue forward with their learning.
