Ohanian's Physics

<p><strong><em>Principles</em> <em>of</em> <em>Physics</em> is a textbook for a one year algebra-based introduction physics course. The book is intended for students in the life sciences, the premedical curriculum, the earth and environmental sciences, and the liberal arts.</strong></p><p>Since for many students this is their first encounter with physics, I introduce new concepts by qualitative and intuitive discussions whenever possible. And to motivate students and to maintain their enthusiasm, I have drawn on examples from sports, biology, medicine, and everyday life, chosen to match the background and special interests of the students.</p>
