About This Textbook

College Physics meets standard scope and sequence requirements for a two-semester introductory algebra-based physics course. The text is grounded in real-world examples to help students grasp fundamental physics concepts. It requires knowledge of algebra and some trigonometry, but not calculus. College Physics includes learning objectives, concept questions, links to labs and simulations, and ample practice opportunities for traditional physics application problems.

Greg Ballentine, Brandon University
This text is a good text for a Physics 090 type course (essentially physics 12 but taught at university). It is well written and takes into account physics education research. If anything it is too comprehensive and contains sections that are n...„

Here are the rest of my prepared omments: It's unfortunate, but most of us who teach physics soon realize that students don't read the textbook. Perhaps they use it as a last resort for finding hints on solving homework problems. No matter how ...„
