The main objective of this book is to provide non-science majors with a clear and logical presentation of some of the basic concepts and principles of classical and modern physics. To create an appropriate language for students, the authors have translated the logic, vocabulary, and values of physics into longer, less tightly structured narration that students can understand. As mathematics holds much of the beauty and power of physics, the authors have written and included a mathematical supplement, PHYSICS: A NUMERICAL WORLD VIEW, packaged free with this text.
This mathematical supplement written by the text authors is keyed to the textbook and develops some of the numerical aspects of this course that can be addressed with simple algebra and geometry. It is ideal for courses having a heavier emphasis in problem solving and quantitative reasoning. Readers are alerted to which sections in the textbook have a parallel presentation in Problem Solving by a math icon. The supplement contains extended mathematical discussion for those sections with additional worked examples and numerical end-of-chapter problems with odd-numbered answers in an appendix.

"In this splendid book a gifted observer and a terrific idea have come together in a real love match. In 1990, a century after the census bureau's famous observation of the frontier's imminent end, Dayton Duncan set out in an aging GMC Suburban to visit a large sampling of counties outside Alaska that have fewer than two persons per square milethe bureau's old standard for places still in a frontier condition. There are 132 such counties. All are in the West. . . . The result of his tour is an insightful and entertaining book, troubling and funny and consistently illuminating. . . . Much of the book's charm comes from Duncan's sketches of people who choose to live 'miles from nowhere'rancher...
