Schaum's Outline of Beginning Physics I: Mechanics and Heat

This powerful study tool makes it possible--shy;shy;even for students with relatively weak training in mathematics and science problem solvingshy;shy;--to quickly gain the reasoning skills and confidence they need to master physics and excel on exams. It coaxes readers through the subject matter and methodology, helping them to naturally develop a grasp of the material typical of a rigorous, no-calculus-based course. With this guide, so like an excellent tutor, they'll soon develop an ability to deal comfortably with sophisticated problems.
