Synopsis
Hewitt considers this student guide his most creative work. It guides students to a sometimes computational way of doing physics. It is a workbook, with a user-friendly tone that makes wide use of analogies and intriguing situations. It can be used in-class to develop concepts, or as an out-of-class tutorial. Learning is greatly increased when students do the step-by-step concept development in this book.
