Physics is that branch of science which deals with the discovery and characterization of universal laws that govern matter, energy, space, and time. It has been described as the "fundamental science" because other fields such as chemistry and biology deal with the investigation of such systems whose properties depend on the laws of physics.

This text is a perfect blend of conceptual understanding and analytical aid so much so that it can motivate the introductory level students for adopting lifetime physics. Informal motivation of concepts and extremely rich pedagogy lay groundwork for better comprehension.

More than 1450 figures and images provide better visual representation of the concepts and 305 solved examples begin with a strategy illustrating the analytical thinking necessary for a student while approaching a problem.

An On-line Learning Center is available to provide extra material to both students and instructors.

Some features of the on-line learning center include: PowerPoint Lectures, Solutions, Animated illustrations and Interactives. Summaries at the end of each chapter emphasize the key points. The practice set includes extensive number of problems arranged topically with varying levels of difficulty.

The Student’s Center contains the Multiple Choice Quiz, Learning Objectives, Links Library, Interactive Examples, Interactives, sample chapter, Chapter 2 on Motion Along a Line, Demonstrations, Note to the Students, Demonstration, Hear From the Authors, and Unit Conversions from the book. This will give you the flavor of the published book.

The Instructor’s Center provides instructors with Solution Manual, PowerPoint Slides, Image Gallery-PowerPoints, Instructor's Resource Guide, Favorite Labs, Lab Demonstrations and Interactives Guide.

This part of the site is password protected and will be available only to the instructors who adopt the book. If you are an adopter and require a password, contact your McGraw-Hill representative or send a request from this Web site.

This site will evolve over time and we would be able to provide you with a wide range of resources that are currently under development.
