Overview

"Some students approach introductory physics with the idea that physics is just the memorization of a long list of equations and the ability to plug numbers into those equations. Physics emphasizes that a relatively small number of basic physics concepts are applied to a wide variety of situations. Physics education research has shown that students do not automatically acquire conceptual understanding; the concepts must be explained and the students given a chance to grapple with them. The presentation in Physics blends conceptual understanding with analytical skills. The "concepts-first" approach helps students develop intuition about how physics works; the "formulas" and problem-solving techniques serve as tools for applying the concepts. The Conceptual Examples and Conceptual Practice Problems in the text and a variety of ranking tasks and Conceptual and Multiple-Choice Questions at the end of each chapter give students a chance to check and to enhance their conceptual understanding"--
