Basic Mechanics
An extremely lucid introduction to physics and reasoning methods containing a judicious selection and sequencing of material that enables students to learn without being overwhelmed and acquire important knowledge for future work. Provides detailed instruction of a problem-solving strategy for both quantitative and qualitative problems. Consists of two closely coordinated parts--the text is designed to present basic subject matter as well as facilitate reference and review; the workbook...

Understanding Basic Mechanics is a coherent introduction to basic Mechanics for an introductory calculus-based physics course for science or engineering students. This innovative approach is comprised of two closely coordinated parts, a Text and a Workbook, that must both be used for student success. The Text presents the basic subject matter, facilitating reference and review. The Workbook actively engages students in their learning to ensure that they have understood what they have read, can interpret it appropriately, and can apply it to diverse situations. It also contains numerous hints and answers. Although available for purchase separately, Wiley makes these two parts available in a cost-saving set for student purchase — Reif: Understanding Basic Mechanics Text & Workbook Set, ISBN 0-471-10337-3. Booknews An introduction to basic mechanics, for an introductory calculus-based physics course for science or engineering students, designed to be used in a set with a workbook. Describes aspects of particle motions such as velocity, acceleration, motion along a straight line, and circular and relative motions, motion and interaction of particles, problem solving in mechanics, the energy law, and motion and interaction of systems. Appendices offer an overview of mechanics and basic mathematics, mechanics laws, and problem-solving methods. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
