Conceptual Physics Fundamentals

From Paul G. Hewitt, author of the market-leading Conceptual Physics, comes his eagerly awaited new text,Conceptual Physics Fundamentals. This briefer, alternative text provides the depth, topic coverage, and features requested by instructors teaching courses that are shorter and that include more quantitative material. The text extends best-selling author Paul Hewitt's proven pedagogical approach, straight-forward learning features, approachable style, and rigorous coverage, while providing superior supplements and instructor and student media. The book develops a solid conceptual understanding of physics, while building students' self-confidence applying their understanding quantitatively.* About Science * Atoms * Newton's Laws of Motion * Equilibrium and Linear Motion * Momentum and Energy * Fluid Mechanics * Gravity, Projectiles, and Satellites * Temperature, Heat, and Thermodynamics * Heat Transfer and Change of Phase * Static and Current Electricity * Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction * Waves and Sound * Light Waves * Properties of Light * Quantum Theory * The Atomic Nucleus and Radioactivity Appendices
