COLLEGE PHYSICS: REASONING & RELATIONSHIPS is an innovative new text that uses the hallmark theme of reasoning and relationships to help students master the fundamental concepts of the course. By understanding the reasoning behind problem solving, students learn to recognize the concepts involved, think critically about them, and move beyond merely memorizing facts and equations. By recognizing the relationships between physics and their experiences, students will develop a stronger understanding of how the concepts relate to each other. COLLEGE PHYSICS: REASONING & RELATIONSHIPS uses original applications drawn from the life sciences and familiar everyday scenarios to motivate student learning and a consistent problem-solving approach to prepare students for the rigors of the course.
