Collage Physics

Written for a one-year course in introductory physics - taken by students studying biology and the health sciences - College Physics, 5th edition, covers the standard topics in classical and 20th century physics, using algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, but no calculus. The main objectives of this text are twofold: to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and princi-ples of physics, and to strengthen the student's understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications to the real world. The Technology Version now offers a new complete learning system for the algebra-trig based physics course. The seamless integration of CD-ROM and Web site technology makes it easier for lecturers and students to incorporate technology-based content into their lectures and studies.
