Title overview

For courses in liberal arts physics

This briefer 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. The book develops a solid conceptual understanding of physics, while building students' self-confidence applying their understanding quantitatively.
