"Available for Fall 2012 classes."
Authors Philip R. Kesten and David L. Tauck take a fresh and
innovative approach to the university physics (calculus-based)
course. They combine their experience teaching physics (Kesten) and
biology (Tauck) to create a text that engages students by using
biological and medical applications and examples to illustrate key
concepts.
"University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences "teaches
the fundamentals of introductory physics, while weaving in
formative physiology, biomedical, and life science topics to help
students connect physics to living systems. The authors help life
science and pre-med students develop a deeper appreciation for why
physics is important to their future work and daily lives. With its
thorough coverage of concepts and problem-solving strategies,
""University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences ""can also
be used as a novel approach to teaching physics to engineers and
scientists or for a more rigorous approach to teaching the college
physics (algebra-based) course.""University Physics for the
Physical and Life Sciences ""utilizes six key features to help
students learn the principle concepts of university physics:
- A seamless blend of physics and physiology with interesting
examples of physics in students' lives,
- A strong focus on developing problem-solving skills (Set Up,
Solve, and Reflect problem-solving strategy),
- Conceptual questions (Got the Concept) built into the flow of the
text,
- "Estimate It " problems that allow students to practice important
estimation skills
- Special attention to common misconceptions that often plague
students, and
- Detailed artwork designed to promote visual learning
