Foundations of Physics, Second Edition - By Dr. Tom Hsu
With the unique Foundations of Physics, Second Edition hands-on, inquiry based instructional approach, more students can understand and retain complex physics concepts.
The text and investigations connect each new concept to students' experience in the lab or real world, and present ideas in both words and illustrations.The program also combines the best attributes of conceptual and mathematical instruction as students use equations (introductory algebra level) to analyze data and solve quantitative problems. Connections in every chapter provide real world examples of science concepts.
Landscape "one-concept" per page, and compelling full color graphics enhance learning and retention.
