| Six Ideas that Shaped Physics is an innovative textbook for calculus-based physics. It consists of six paperback volumes, each of which is dedicated to a central idea of physics. In preparing Six Ideas, Dr. Moore has re-thought every topic from the ground up. He introduces conservation laws at the outset and elevates the coverage of modern physics relative to traditional texts. Six Ideas is written in a conversational style, well illustrated, and exceptionally well thought-out. In fact, every chapter is designed to be the basis of a one hour lecture or discussion. Dr. Moore emphasizes conceptual reasoning and model-building through examples, exercises, and four different types of homework problems. Through this sophisticated pedagogy, Six Ideas both leads and pushes students to a thoroughly fundamental understanding of physics. An expansive Instructor’s Manual, which includes suggestions for implementing Six Ideas, sample exams, and solutions to exercises, is available.
