Handbook for Undergraduate General Physics

Provides students with a valuable reference for college-level physics courses. Filling a gap in the current market and providing students with vital reference material, Handbook for Undergraduate General Physics is ideal for foundational courses in physics.

Handbook for Undergraduate General Physics provides students with a valuable reference for college-level physics courses. The handbook is designed to support a two or three semester physics sequence at a university pursuant to paths in life sciences or engineering. The text presents notations, formulas, and equations related to mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, mechanical waves, thermal physics, and modern physics. Dedicated sections cover kinematics, dynamics, and gravitation; fluids and flow equations; circuits; electromagnetic waves; diffraction and interference; mirrors and lenses; thermodynamics; and more. Students review integral math formulae and a collection of informational tables that display SI units and derived units, the Greek alphabet, unit conversions, astrophysical data, and more. Filling a gap in the current market and providing students with vital reference material, Handbook for Undergraduate General Physics is ideal for foundational courses in physics.
