About this title

Synopsis

Physics Problem-Solving Techniques for Understanding and Success in First Year Mechanics: A Structured Approach for Scientists and Engineers addresses a topic generally skipped in first-year textbooks: how conceptual understanding of the laws of physics are applied to problem-solving in a systematic way, as experts do. The book was written to empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to have confidence solving any problem in mechanics, and later, to those in related disciplines.

The opening chapter is on the topic of word problems featuring examples from 1D kinematics. Chapters 2 through 6 mirror the same order found in most standard first-year physics textbooks: Newton's Second Law, Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem, Conservation of Energy, Conservation of Momentum, and Rotational Dynamics and Angular Momentum. An appendix contains a review of unit analysis and unit conversion.

Each chapter begins by reviewing a principle of mechanics in the context of its application to problem-solving, ending with a summary of the problem-solving steps for that principle. The second half of each chapter has example solutions in a two-column format with the solution steps on the left and annotations on the right, describing the steps so that students learn how the same steps are applied to all problems using the same principle.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
