This bestselling book helps readers understand the interrelationships among basic physics concepts and how they fit together to describe our physical world. Real-world physics applications are presented throughout the chapters, including many biomedical applications, to show how physics principles come into play over and over again in our lives. Highlighted Problem Solving Insights sections explain each calculation in detail, guiding readers through the quantitative process. The Concepts at a Glance charts provide a visual representation of the conceptual development of physics principles.
