Klappentext * Can be utilized in either Algebra or Calculus-based courses and is available either as a standalone text or as a supplement for books like Cutnell PHYSICS, 5e or Halliday, Resnick, & Walker FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS, 6e. * Math level is Algebra & Trigonometry; however, a few examples require the use of integration and differentiation. * Unlike competing supplements, Tuszinski offers both a wealth of engaging biomedical applications as well as quantitative problem-solving. The quantitative problem-solving is presented in the form of worked examples and homework problems. * The quantitative problem-solving is presented in the form of worked examples and homework problems. * The standard organization facilitates the integration of the material into most introductory courses. Zusammenfassung This introductory text looks at the biomedical applications of physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. Kinematics in One Dimension. Kinematics in Two Dimensions.
