Physics, International Adaptation

The newly revised Twelfth Edition of Cutnell's Physics delivers an effective and accessible introduction to college and university physics. It contains easy-to follow explanations of critical math and problem-solving concepts. From kinematics to work and energy, temperature, heat, electricity, magnetism and optics as well as foundational concepts in more advanced subjects like special relativity, Physics is the ideal introductory text for students from any background. The greatest strength of the text is the synergistic relationship it develops between problem solving and conceptual understanding. The book lays emphasis on building relevance of physics in day-to-day living and highlights the physics principles that come into play. A wide range of applications that are biomedical in nature and others that deal with modern technology.
