100 Instructive Calculus-based Physics Examples, Volume 1 (Motion)

Great price, great product. I am so grateful for people who create such helpful resources like these books. Thank you!

Buy it! This is by far the best college level physics book I have read. The book explains in clear detail about physics and teaches you math and calculus so you will be able to solve physics with calculus. He teaches the math beginning with basic algebra, trig and calculus. The only math you need is some basic high school math. He teaches that too! The physics problems are challenging and can be solved through some brainstorming. In this book he has the solutions. There are two other volumes in the series. Great book!

In the final expression, 2mR^2/3 you need to check the expression just before that.

Very helpful problems.

Does a great job explain difficult physics problems using algebra, trig, and calc. I highly recommend this book if you are taking a physics coarse. You really don't need to know calc for this book; the book explains it in great detail.

Excellent service, super fast delivery.. item arrived as described in good condition. I highly recommend this book to all potential buyers.. it's easy to understand and is filled with step by step examples to follow. It's a must have. I'm 100% satisfied with this purchase!

this is essential, physic does not teach math, math does not teach physics,lab connects the 2, and this gives plenty examples to fill in all the blanks!

The title of the book is misleading. It is void of calculus problems for physics ( more to the calculus parts below ). I am teaching Calc Physics and was looking for a good collection of problems to have more interesting homework and test problems ( my books are from the 80s ). The title looked promising and the cover had an algebra problem that I regularly use in class. So, when the book arrived I was extremely disappointed about the "examples". The best way to illustrate is to give some: Example 41 ( the first physics problem, before only math problems ) A monkey drives a bananamobile . . . . Example 42 A mechanical monkey . . . Ex43 A monkey drives a bananamobile . . . . 44 [..] a champanzee [..] drops a 500-g banana . . . 45: A monkey leans over . . . Maybe I was looking at the wrong section. My current homework is on Angular Momentum, so let me find those problems: 203: A 30-kg monkey is placed . . . 204: A monkey is SO frustrated . . . . 205: [..] A monkey underneath the table . . . . That was it for Angular Momentum So let me do a "random" selection ( flipping from the end): 148: Two bananamobiles collide . . 146: A 20-kg box of bananas . . . 141: On planet SillyMonk . . . . 139: [..] while a 3.0-kg box of bananas . . . 138: A monkey uses a spring . . . . 135: A box of banas . . . 131: A 200-kg bananamobile I am randomly opening problems. I did not select, other than leaving the math sections off - more to that later !! 119: On planet Coconut . . 102: A monkey grabs . . 94: A box of bananas . . ( So far, none of them had calculus content ) 83: An ape standing atop . . 61: A monkey . . . 46: Monk Jordan leaps . . . So let me come to the Math and Calculus: I found calculus physics problems : 49: The acceleration of a chimpanzee [..] a = 24 t^2 ( I omitted subscript x ) 126: A chimpanzee exerts a force F = 15 y^4 [. .] as a box of pinapples . . . . . ( I omitted vectors,but we jsut integrated the force ) 127: A lemur exerts a force of F = x + y^2 [. .] as a box of grapes. . . . (I omitted vectors ) Where the book gets heavy on calculus is: Volume Integrals to calculate the Moment of Inertia. ( To me this is the border between math and physics ) Problems 194-198 cover pages 260 to 270 Pages 247-250 just list (and graph) the inertial moments of various objects. ( I refer my students to Wikipedia, List of Inertial Moments ) Center of Mass: another section full of integrals. In my view: more math than physics There are a lot of pure math problems ( the ones I omitted from my previous list ). Here are examples: ( I omitted int boundaries ) 153: Perform the [.] integral int ( x/5 -1)^4 dx 154: Perform the [.] integral int (1+x^2)^(-1/2) dx 155 Perform the [.] integral int (4 - x^2)^(-1) dx and so on. Summary: I am terribly disappointed.

très bon livre sur les bases mathématiques pour la physique, c'est bien dommage que la traduction ne soit pas en langue française. c'est pour cette raison que j'ai noté trois étoiles.

I can not praise this book enough for its clear and uncluttered, no nonsense, and easy to read presentation. Excellent complement for my brushing up on scientific skills/knowledge. Chris McMullen, Ph.D has done an excellent job!

Nice collection

I purchased this book in order to be supported during my lessons as a high school teacher. I am quite pleased by the way solving problems is narrated. Simple and ordered. Thank you.

Awesome book for first year engineering. I use it after studying a topic from my text and it has done the job of making me way better in solving physics problems.
