Principles of Physics

Principles of Physics

by Hans C Ohanian (Author)

Synopsis

Since for many students this is their first encounter with physics, I introduce new concepts by qualitative and intuitive discussions whenever possible. And to motivate students and to maintain their enthusiasm, I have drawn on examples from sports, biology, medicine, and everyday life, chosen to match the background and special interests of the students.
