Since its first edition, University Physics has been revered for its emphasis on fundamental principles and how to apply them. This text is known for its clear and thorough narrative, as well as its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful sets of worked examples that provide students with key tools for developing both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.

KEY TOPICS: Units, Physical Quantities, and Vectors; Motion Along a Straight Line; Motion in Two or Three Dimensions; Newton’s Laws of Motion; Applying Newton’s Laws; Work and Kinetic Energy; Potential Energy and Energy Conservation; Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions; Rotation of Rigid Bodies; Dynamics of Rotational Motion; Equilibrium and Elasticity; Fluid Mechanics; Gravitation; Periodic Motion; Mechanical Waves; Sound and Hearing ; Temperature and Heat; Thermal Properties of Matter; The First Law of Thermodynamics; The Second Law of Thermodynamics ; Electric Charge and Electric Field; Gauss’s Law; Electric Potential; Capacitance and Dielectrics; Current, Resistance, and Electromotive Force; Direct-Current Circuits; Magnetic Field and Magnetic Forces; Sources of Magnetic Field; Electromagnetic Induction; Inductance; Alternating Current; Electromagnetic Waves ; The Nature and Propagation of Light; Geometric Optics; Interference; Diffraction ;Relativity; Photons: Light Waves Behaving as Particles; Particles Behaving as Waves; Quantum Mechanics I: Wave Functions; Quantum Mechanics II: Atomic Structure; Molecules and Condensed Matter; Nuclear Physics; Particle Physics and Cosmology

MARKET: Intended for those who would like to gain a basic knowledge of physics.

Roger A. Freedman is a Lecturer in Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was an undergraduate at the University of California campuses in San Diego and Los Angeles and did his doctoral research in nuclear theory at Stanford University under the direction of Professor J. Dirk Walecka. Dr. Freedman came to UCSB in 1981 after three years of teaching and doing research at the University of Washington. At UCSB, Dr. Freedman has taught in both the Department of Physics and the College of Creative Studies, a branch of the university intended for highly gifted and motivated undergraduates. He has published research in nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, and laser physics. In recent years, he has worked to make physics lectures a more interactive experience through the use of classroom response systems and pre-lecture videos. IN MEMORIAM: HUGH YOUNG (1930—2013) Hugh D. Young was Emeritus Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from that university. He earned his Ph.D. in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky. He joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon in 1956 and retired in 2004. He also had two visiting professorships at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Young’s career was centered entirely on undergraduate education. He wrote several undergraduate-level textbooks, and in 1973 he became a coauthor with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory textbooks. In addition to his role on Sears and Zemansky’s University Physics, he was the author of Sears and Zemansky’s College Physics, Dr. Young earned a bachelor’s degree in organ performance from Carnegie Mellon in 1972 and spent several years as Associate Organist at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Pittsburgh.
