Ebook: University physics

This Second Edition of University Physics is designed for the calculus-based introductory course for students majoring in one of the physical sciences or engineering. The text has been extensively rewritten, in a more relaxed style that makes physics easier to study but that does not compromise the necessary rigor of the subject. Each chapter reaches the level of exact, rigorous statement that gives physics its power. Simultaneously, the occasional historical anecdotes and biographical sketches remind the reader that physics is, indeed, a human endeavor.
