Physics Problem-Solving Techniques for Understanding and Success in
First Year Mechanics: A Structured Approach for Scientists and
Engineers addresses a topic generally skipped in first-year
textbooks: how conceptual understanding of the laws of physics are
applied to problem-solving in a systematic way, as experts do. The
book was written to empower students with the knowledge and skills
necessary for them to have confidence solving any problem in
mechanics, and later, to those in related disciplines. The opening
chapter is on the topic of word problems featuring examples from 1D
kinematics. Chapters 2 through 6 mirror the same order found in
most standard first-year physics textbooks: Newton's Second Law,
Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem, Conservation of Energy, Conservation
of Momentum, and Rotational Dynamics and Angular Momentum. An
appendix contains a review of unit analysis and unit conversion.
Each chapter begins by reviewing a principle of mechanics in the
context of its application to problem-solving, ending with a
summary of the problem-solving steps for that principle. The second
half of each chapter has example solutions in a two-column format
with the solution steps on the left and annotations on the right,
describing the steps so that students learn how the same steps are
applied to all problems using the same principle.
