The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
This algebra-based physics book uses conceptual examples to give readers explicit models for applying physics principles in a conceptual context and as a guide when solving problems. Discusses such topics as Gauss' Law, holography and medical imaging techniques. Six fresh, high-interest essays discuss mysteries that physics principles have helped solve.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Clear concepts, sound reasoning skills, and real-world applications! Cutnell and Johnson offer numerous learning tools, problems, and real-life applications that will involve readers and make difficult concepts easier to understand.
