PHYSICS :

Abstract

This textbook is especially suited for students taking a one-year introductory course in physics that uses algebra and trigonometry but not calculus.† Many of these students are majoring in biology or premed, as well as architecture, technology, and the earth and environmental sciences. Many applications to these fields are intended to answer that common student query: “Why must I study physics?” The answer is that physics is fundamental to a full understanding of these fields, and here they can see how. Physics is everywhere around us in the everyday world. It is the goal of this book to help students “see the world through eyes that know physics.”
