Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Designed to build confident analytical abilities, this book introduces a scaffolded five-step strategy for solving problems in classical mechanics. With progressive problem sets spanning kinematics, forces, momentum, rotational motion, and more, it focuses on deepening conceptual understanding beyond the basic application of formulae. This highly pedagogical approach highlights the importance of determining which principles apply under given conditions, and each problem is accompanied by the full mathematical solution and a visualisation of the underlying physical concepts at play. Guided exercises allow students to reinforce their understanding and turn passive solution-checking into active learning. Written for undergraduate physics and engineering students keen to develop more efficient and fluent problem-solving skills and improved exam results, it also provides instructors with a novel and effective teaching framework for tutorials and assessments.
