Synopsis

Each chapter in this physics study guide contains a description of key ideas, potential pitfalls, true-false questions that test essential definitions and relations, questions and answers that require qualitative reasoning, and problems and solutions. This edition uses the same two column format for equations as the worked examples in the text, and includes "Try it Yourself" features with answers in the back.
