Conceptual Physics

I taught a conceptual physics class using this textbook for a few years. It's not the best, but I really like it.

An excellent text for the teaching of physics from a very conceptual (not so overly mathematical) standpoint. I have used it with great success for the last three years.

A mnust have for ALL physics students!!! Breaks the concepts into easily understood pieces.

If you're preparing to study physics than is this book the one you have to read before starting. It's giving you insight in what's physics is about from mechanics (and Newton's Laws) to the relativity of Einstein. Probably you don't understand everything but that's not the goal of the book, it's to give you a glimp of what you can expect from physics. And this without all the mathematics. The mathematical part is for further study. You need to take the time to read the book. I read it in a period from two month's every evening after work a little bit but enjoyed it at the same time.

Esta edición conserva los recuadros con breves textos sobre asuntos como energía y tecnología, las ruedas de los trenes, las bandas magnéticas en las tarjetas de crédito y los trenes de levitación magnética. También aparecen recuadros sobre pseudociencia, el poder de los cristales, el efecto placebo, búsqueda de manto s de agua con métodos de radiestesia, terapia magnética, ondas electromagnéticas alrededor de líneas de energía eléctrica y la fobia hacia la radiación en los alimentos y hacia cualquier objeto que ostente el adjetivo “nuclear”.
