Introduces students to critical concepts in physics in an approachable and innovative way. Throughout the text, students enjoy clear and concise explanations, relevant real-world examples, and problems that help them master physics fundamentals.

Suitable for a wide audience, this book covers a broad scope of subjects, from classical physics that goes back to the age of Newton to new ideas just formulated in the twenty-first century. The book highlights the core areas of physics that predate the twentieth century, including mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. It also focuses on modern physics, covering quantum mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics, fundamental particles, and relativity.

The goal ofEssential College Physics is to provide a text focused on essential principlesa shorter, more focused text that better addresses the learning needs of todays students while more effectively guiding them through the mastery of physics. Brevity does not need to come at the expense of student learning. This text is designed from the ground up to be concise and focused, resulting in a book that is less intimidating and easier to use, with well-coordinated explanations, art, worked examples, and end-of-chapter problems. It incorporates an overarching connected approach: connecting ideas within and across chapters; connecting physics with the real world; connecting words and math; and connecting with how todays students learn and how they use their textbook. In addition to providing a strong foundation that teaches physics principles, the text also focuses on building students problem-solving skills. The friendly, integrated approach, combined with the low price, makes Essential College Physics an invaluable textbook choice.
