Summary Table of Contents

Physics2nd edition is an alternate version of theCollege Physics3rd edition text by Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson. The key difference is thatPhysicscovers kinematics and forces in the more traditional organization of beginning with Kinematics and proceeding to forces. (College Physicstakes an integrated approach to forces and kinematics, introducing forces and interweaving kinematics.).
