This book is intended as a complement to the non-calculus based physics course. It covers the typical two-semester course in introductory physics. The book is problems driven. Concepts are explained in the context of thoroughly worked problems. The relaxed writing style and layout of the book along with the liberal use of icons and characters (When Mr. Spock tells you about relativity or Galileo about gravity, you listen!) makes this a very friendly book.

When it comes to understanding a most intimidating course - physics - even good students can be confused. This book is the perfect companion to the confused, frustrated, possibly even frightened student taking a first physics course in college. This book is especially good for those with a poor mathematical background or an aversion to mathematics. In working the problems, considerable attention is given to mathematical detail, without getting bogged down in the rigor.

While intended for the non-calculus based physics student the book should be helpful to anyone taking his or her first physics course. The mathematics is explained. The concepts are explained. This book will help anyone do and understand homework and test problems.
