Overview

The text is short enough that students can read it and have time to study the material they read. In total, there are 10 chapters with 347 pages excluding front and back matter. For a two-semester course, that amounts to about 10 pages per week for the student to study. The text is organized into 67 sections with problems at the end of each section, thus allowing the student to work problems associated with subject matter being studied. There are 264 problems averaging 4 to 5 exercise per section with each exercise covering thoroughly all aspects of the problem rather than the large number of fragmented problems normally found in physics texts. Subject matter in each chapter is directed to applications of the principles of physics involved thus allowing students to view practical use of the principles. The textbooks is organized such that instructors may use the text as a lesson plan covering, on the average, 1 section per lecture with a workable number of problems provided. This eliminates the necessity for experienced faculty to rewrite lesson plans as often required when textbooks are changed and provides new faculty a lesson plan to start with.
