Essentials of Calculus-based Physics
Chris McMullen, Ph.D.
Learn physics from a university instructor with over 20 years of experience teaching calculus-based (and trig-based) physics in California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.
How does this book help you learn physics?
Clear explanations; communication is vital toward learning physics.Emphasis on understanding the connection between the math and concepts.Instructive problems, often broken down into parts.Explaining key steps in the math.Review important techniques from algebra, trig, and calculus.Hints at the back (in addition to answers) help walk you through the solution. The hints address common questions. Designed to help students.
Each chapter concisely reviews key information.Relevant formulas are provided and explained.Handy charts help you quickly understand the symbols and determine the units.Step-by-step examples serve as a handy guide.Stuck on a solution? Check the hints section at the back of the book.The answer to each problem is given at the bottom of the page for easy access.
Topics covered in Volume 1: One-dimensional motion (including calculus) Motion graphs and two-dimensional motion Vector addition and projectile motion Newton’s laws (including springs) Uniform circular motion Gravity and satellites Work, power, energy, center of mass, and collisions Rotation (detailed coverage)
Both classic and new problems are included.
Some classic problems/examples include:
Atwood’s machinethe top of a roller coaster loopinclined plane problemsthe ballistic pendulumsatellite in a circular orbitcenter of mass and moment of inertia of a variety of objectscar driving in a circle with constant speedracecar on a banked curve1D and 2D collisions
This book includes problems that allow students to apply their calculus skills.
Relate position, velocity, and acceleration in 1D and in 2D.Integrate to find the work done and differentiate to find instantaneous power.Apply calculus to solve rocket propulsion problems.Integrate to find center of mass and moment of inertia in different coordinate systems.A dedicated chapter reviews techniques of integration and coordinate systems before applying this to physics.

Description
Physics with calculus, Volume 1 (motion), covered in detail (motion, Newton’s laws, circular motion, work/energy, satellites, center of mass, collisions, rotation). Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems. These are actually the solutions to the problems from Essential Calculus-based Physics Study Guide Workbook. Trig-based physics, Volume 1 (motion). It’s basically the calculus-based physics book without any of the calculus. Over 100 fully solved examples of trig-based physics problems. These are actually the solutions to the problems from Essential Trig-based Physics Study Guide Workbook. Physics with calculus, Volume 2 (electricity and magnetism), covered in detail. Physics with calculus, Volume 3 (waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light), covered in detail.

Description
Essential skills from physics with calculus. Volume 1 covers motion. In-depth coverage of calculus-based physics. There is currently just one volume of the “Advanced Introduction,” whereas there are 3 volumes of “Essential Calculus-based Physics.” Modern physics covers special relativity, blackbody radiation, the Compton effect, the photoelectric effect, Bohr’s model, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger’s equation. Detailed and in-depth coverage of thermal physics across undergraduate physics.
