Physics: Principles and Applications, 7th Edition is the algebra-based physics textbook for life science and pre-med students. Using concrete observations and relatable experiences, author Douglas Giancoli begins with the specifics, then moves to generalizations and the more formal aspects of each topic.
This textbook offers guidance on reasoning from physical principles rather than memorized formulas. It shows you how to follow worked examples and problem-solving strategies, as well as how to connect physics to medicine and biology. Covered topics include kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, momentum, and rotational motion. Additional areas of focus include fluids, waves and sound, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics.
The 7th Edition presents interesting applications to biology, medicine, architecture, and digital technology to show the usefulness of physics in our everyday lives and in your future profession.
