This text was written with this broad range of readers in mind. Coverage is limited to the aspects of physics that prospective technicians must know to understand concepts taught in their other courses. The only mathematics prerequisite is elementary algebra.
By combining the principles of physics and the applications required by vocational technical students, the text lets the career-oriented student know why particular topics are important in the world of work. The examples and practical applications make it easier to grasp and understand the more difficult conceptual material.
The purpose in preparing this second edition has been to expand explanations in areas that cause students unnecessary difficulty, to add end-of-chapter problems that will aid the learning process, and to provide computer programs that will give students related computer operating experience. The text remains organized into "parts." Part I provides a general introduction to physics and measurement. The remaining parts are based on the type of energy discussed in the chapters. Part II covers mechanics Part III is on heat Part IV, sound and light and Part V, electricity.
