This book is an entry-level undergraduate physics textbook, which is suitable for physics, pre-engineering, pre-medical, pre-law, biotechnology or general science students. The approach adopted in this text places emphasis on simplifying abstract concepts by using short derivations of important equations as well as introducing problem-solving strategies that will help the reader to learn quickly to apply simple concepts to solve complex problems in general physics. To address any deficiency in mathematical knowledge needed to succeed in a physics course, Chapter Zero reviews important mathematics concepts that are generally encountered in physics. In addition, each chapter contains several different solved problems in different areas. Additional practice problems are also included in each chapter.

Fundamentals of Mechanics is Volume 1 of six-volume Calculus-based University Physics series, designed to meet the requirements of a two-semester course sequence of introductory physics for physics, chemistry, and engineering majors. The present volume focuses on building a good foundation in kinematics and dynamics. The emphasis is placed on understanding basic concepts of kinematics and equilibrium conditions of forces well before handling more difficult subject of dynamics. Concepts and ideas are developed starting from fundamental principles whenever possible and illustrated by numerical and symbolic problems. Detailed guided exercises and challenging problems help students develop their problem solving skills. The complete University Physics series (Volumes 1-6) covers topics in Mechanics, Gravitation, Waves, Sound, Fluids, Thermodynamics, Electricity, Magnetism, Optics, and Modern Physics. Appropriate volumes can be selected to provide students a solid foundation of introductory physics and make their transition into advanced courses easier. Volume 1: Fundamentals of Mechanics - Vectors, Kinematics, Newton's Laws of Motion, Impulse, Energy, Rotation, Physics in Non-inertial Frames.

This classic textbook on experimental physics, written by Robert W. Pohl to accompany his famous lecture courses, served generations of physics and other science majors, not only in his native Germany, and was for many years a standard textbook. Pohl's lucid and memorable style and his consistent use of vivid demonstration experiments made his textbooks unique in their time. This completely revised and updated modern edition retains his style and clarity in an up-to-date format. The accompanying videos document the original demonstrations and add many modern touches, bringing to life the numerous illustrations in the book and providing an instructive and motivating complement to the text. They are linked to the corresponding topics in the text and can be accessed directly online from the e-book version. Volume I covers elementary mechanics, acoustics (vibrations and waves) and thermodynamics.The exercises provide an aid to understanding the material as well as complementary information. This book addresses students of physics and of other natural sciences and engineering, but also teachers and lecturers, who will profit from Pohl's many demonstration experiments, and other interested readers who want to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of physics from an experimental viewpoint.

This textbook presents a basic course in physics to teach mechanics, mechanical properties of matter, thermal properties of matter, elementary thermodynamics, electrodynamics, electricity, magnetism, light and optics and sound. It includes simple mathematical approaches to each physical principle, and all examples and exercises are selected carefully to reinforce each chapter. In addition, answers to all exercises are included that should ultimately help solidify the concepts in the minds of the students and increase their confidence in the subject. Many boxed features are used to separate the examples from the text and to highlight some important physical outcomes and rules. The appendices are chosen in such a way that all basic simple conversion factors, basic rules and formulas, basic rules of differentiation and integration can be viewed quickly, helping student to understand the elementary mathematical steps used for solving the examples and exercises. Instructors teaching form this textbook will be able to gain online access to the solutions manual which provides step-by-step solutions to all exercises contained in the book.
