Ever stared at a physics problem involving derivatives or integrals and felt lost? You're not alone—university physics with calculus can trip up even the brightest students. This workbook changes that by focusing squarely on motion: uniform acceleration, vectors, projectiles, Newton's laws, energy conservation, collisions, rotations, and satellites.
Dr. Chris McMullen, with over 20 years teaching physics across universities, breaks everything down into digestible steps. You'll find fully solved examples that mirror standard exam problems, showing exactly how to apply calculus—think derivatives for velocity or integrals for center of mass. Charts list symbols, meanings, and SI units at a glance, so you spend less time flipping pages and more time understanding.
Practice exercises ramp up gradually, with hints, intermediate steps, and full explanations in the back. No calculator needed, which builds your estimation skills for tests like the GRE Physics. Separate reviews cover essential calculus, algebra, trig, and geometry, filling any gaps without overwhelming you.
Imagine breezing through homework on projectile trajectories or collision momentum. Students use it to review fundamentals, tackle homework independently, or boost grades before exams. It's digital Kindle format too, searchable and portable for late-night study sessions.
Unlike dry textbooks, this feels like a conversation with an expert prof who anticipates your questions. McMullen's particle physics PhD shines in clear explanations of tricky integrals. Whether you're a freshman engineer or switching majors, it equips you to think like a physicist. Volumes 2 and 3 cover E&M and more—start here and build momentum.
Grab this and watch physics click into place. Your future self (acing that exam) will thank you.
