About this title

Synopsis

This textbook is one part of a two-book set. You will also need the Solutions and Tests Manual to complete the course. This course covers kinematics, dynamics, rotational motion, gravity, oscillations, waves, optics, thermal physics, electrical forces, electrical potential, DC circuits, magnetic forces, atomic physics, and nuclear physics. Students are also introduced to the topics of special relativity and general relativity. This course uses all household items for labs. Students will measure their vertical pitching speed, measure the coefficient of kinetic friction, experiment with ping-pong pendulums, study adiabatic compression and expansion, and much more. This advanced physics course can be taken after successfully completing a college-preparatory physics course. Students taking this course should also have successfully completed pre-calculus.

About the Author

Jay Wile fell in love with chemistry when his parents bought him his first chemistry set. Many stink bombs and a few explosions later, he was hooked! He attended the University of Rochester to study chemistry and, while there, became fascinated with nuclear chemistry, eventually earning a PhD in that field. For several years, he did research under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation while serving as an assistant professor of chemistry. Dr. Wile has won many awards for excellence in teaching and research.
