Synopsis

More than 500,000 students have purchased previous editions of this book! That's because this powerful study tool offers clear explanations and constant reinforcements, so that students quickly grasp this potentially difficult subject matter. It takes students from vectors to thermodynamics to applied nuclear physics, teaching effective problem-solving skills. The numerous, valuable appendixes make often-needed, basic information easy to find quickly, so this book is also an excellent reference.

The new edition of this best-selling book gives users a solid grasp of the principles of general physics through their application to a large number of carefully selected problems. The Ninth Edition features a new order of presentation that reflects the current physics curriculum and textbooks. Existing problems have been updated, and new problems have been added that deal with more realistic and practical situations, including those in the life sciences.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

A state-of-the-art, easy-to-use study tool that virtually gurantees better grades There is no more effective way to learn the principles of general physics than by using this ultimate toolkit featuring Mathcad-today's leading technical calculation software. By studying hundreds of solved problems, including more than 200 live equations using Mathcad, you can practice until you've mastered the material completely. With this amazing electronic tutor and your textbook, you'll be transported to the head of your physics class in no time! In the electronic book, more than 200 completely interactive problems are presented. With powerful Mathcad technology, you can change any parameter in any of these equations and watch as the equations are recalculated correctly each time. In this way, you will learn how each change affects the end result. Drawn from the eighth edition of Theory and Problems of College Physics, a best-seller by Frederick J. Bueche in Schaum's top-rated Outline Series, the electronic tutor includes chapters on equilibrium under the action of concurrent forces; uniformly accelerated motion; Newton's laws of motion; mass, weight, and force; work, energy, and power; impulse and momentum; rigid body rotation; simple harmonic motion and springs; density and elasticity; kinetic theory; Kirchoff's laws; forces in magnetic fields; relativity; quantum physics and wave mechanics; and much, much more.
