LEVEL: This book covers physics with calculus at the university level. (If instead you’re looking for a trig-based physics book, search for ISBN 1941691145.) Note that the calculus-based edition includes all of material from the trig-based book, plus ample coverage of the calculus-based material.
DESCRIPTION: This combination of physics study guide and workbook focuses on essential problem-solving skills and strategies:Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard university physics problems.Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units.Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples.Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise.Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained.VOLUME: This volume covers motion, including uniform acceleration, calculus-based motion, vector addition, projectile motion, Newton’s laws, center of mass integrals, conservation of energy, collisions, the scalar and vector product, rotation, moment of inertia integrals, satellites, and more. (Vol. 2 covers electricity and magnetism, while Vol. 3 covers waves, fluids, heat, sound, and light. Vol.’s 2-3 will be released in the spring of 2017.)
AUTHOR: The author, Dr. Chris McMullen, has over 20 years of experience teaching university physics in California, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana (and has also taught physics to gifted high school students). Dr. McMullen currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He has also published a half-dozen papers on the collider phenomenology of superstring-inspired large extra dimensions. Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in particle physics from Oklahoma State University (and his M.S. in physics from California State University, Northridge).
Dr. McMullen is well-known for:engaging physics students in challenging ideas through creativitybreaking difficult problems down into manageable stepsproviding clear and convincing explanations to subtle issueshis mastery of physics and strong background in mathematicshelping students become more fluent in practical math skillsMATH REVIEW: Separate chapters cover essential calculus skills (like derivatives and relevant integration techniques) as well as essential algebra, geometry, and trigonometry skills.
SOLUTIONS: The back of the book includes a detailed section of hints, intermediate answers, final answers, and explanations to help you solve each problem one step at a time. It’s like having a physics tutor in the back of the book. (However, if you would prefer complete solutions, search for ISBN 194169117X.)
USES: This study guide workbook can be used to:learn how to solve fundamental problems in physics with calculusfind fully-solved examples of standard physics problemsdevelop fluency in physics via practice exercises that include answers, hints, and explanationsquickly find the most essential physics terms, concepts, and formulasprepare for the AP physics examreview for standardized exams, such as AP Physics or the fundamentals of the GRE.CALCULATOR: Every problem in this book can be solved without the aid of a calculator. This is handy for students who will take a standardized exam like the GRE Physics, which doesn’t allow a calculator. (It’s also a handy skill to be able to estimate an answer without relying on a calculator.)

Essentials of Calculus-based Physics

Chris McMullen, Ph.D.

Learn physics from a university instructor with over 20 years of experience teaching calculus-based (and trig-based) physics in California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.

How does this book help you learn physics?

Clear explanations; communication is vital toward learning physics.Emphasis on understanding the connection between the math and concepts.Instructive problems, often broken down into parts.Explaining key steps in the math.Review important techniques from algebra, trig, and calculus.Hints at the back (in addition to answers) help walk you through the solution. The hints address common questions. Designed to help students.

Each chapter concisely reviews key information.Relevant formulas are provided and explained.Handy charts help you quickly understand the symbols and determine the units.Step-by-step examples serve as a handy guide.Stuck on a solution? Check the hints section at the back of the book.The answer to each problem is given at the bottom of the page for easy access.

Topics covered in Volume 1: One-dimensional motion (including calculus) Motion graphs and two-dimensional motion Vector addition and projectile motion Newton’s laws (including springs) Uniform circular motion Gravity and satellites Work, power, energy, center of mass, and collisions Rotation (detailed coverage)

Both classic and new problems are included.

Some classic problems/examples include:

Atwood’s machinethe top of a roller coaster loopinclined plane problemsthe ballistic pendulumsatellite in a circular orbitcenter of mass and moment of inertia of a variety of objectscar driving in a circle with constant speedracecar on a banked curve1D and 2D collisions

This book includes problems that allow students to apply their calculus skills.

Relate position, velocity, and acceleration in 1D and in 2D.Integrate to find the work done and differentiate to find instantaneous power.Apply calculus to solve rocket propulsion problems.Integrate to find center of mass and moment of inertia in different coordinate systems.A dedicated chapter reviews techniques of integration and coordinate systems before applying this to physics.
