Ever stared at a physics problem involving derivatives or integrals and felt lost? You're not alone—many students hit a wall when calculus enters the equation for things like acceleration or center of mass. This workbook changes that by guiding you through essential concepts in motion, from uniform acceleration to satellite orbits, all with the math you need to succeed at university level.
Dr. Chris McMullen, with over 20 years teaching physics across universities, breaks everything down into manageable steps. Fully solved examples walk you through standard problems, showing exactly how to apply calculus techniques like derivatives for velocity or integrals for work. Handy charts list symbols, their meanings, and SI units right where you need them, so no more flipping through textbooks mid-problem.
Imagine solving problems on rotation or moment of inertia without a calculator— a skill that shines on GRE Physics or AP exams. Users rave about gaining fluency through repetition, turning abstract ideas into intuitive understanding. Whether you're prepping for midterms, reviewing fundamentals, or diving into particle physics research like the author's superstring papers, this guide feels like a personal tutor.
Use it during late-night study sessions at your desk, or on commutes with the Kindle edition. Tackle conservation of energy in collisions one day, then pivot to satellites the next. By the end, you'll approach problems with confidence, spotting patterns and shortcuts effortlessly. No fluff—just practical tools to make physics click. Covering volumes build to electricity, waves, and more, but start here with motion to build a strong foundation.
