Fazely Ali R. Foundation of Physics for Scientists and Engineers. Volume I. Mechanics, Heat and Sound

Bookboon, 2015. — 205 p. — ISBN: 978-87-403-1002-3.The genesis behind writing a textbook in calculus-based physics stemmed from the fact that most existing textbooks are too detailed and voluminous. In writing this book, the author has minimized inconsequential details and only concentrated on physics concepts. The balance among different components of the book was also paramount. The author has avoided citing too many unwarranted examples and homework problems which create a fatigue environment for the student. This book provides an excellent foundation in physics for the students majoring in science and engineering.Physical Measurement and Units
