Sinopsis

Learning physics, just as learning any skill, requires regular practice of the basic techniques. That is what this Student Workbook is all about. The workbook consists of exercises that give you an opportunity to practice the ideas and techniques presented in the textbook and in class. These exercises are intended to be done on a daily basis, right after the topics have been discussed in class and are still fresh in your mind.
 

You will find that the exercises are nearly all qualitative rather than quantitative. They ask you to draw pictures, interpret graphs, use ratios, write short explanations, or provide other answers that do not involve significant calculations. The purpose of these exercises is to help you develop the basic thinking tools you'lllater need for quantitative problem solving. Successful completion of he workbook exercises will prepare you to tackle the more quantitative end-of-chapter homework problems in the textbook. It is highly recommended that you do the workbook exercises before starting the end-of-chapter problems.
 

You will find that the exercises in this workbook are keyed to specific sections of the textbook in order to let you practice the new ideas introduced in that section. You should keep the text beside you as you work and refer to it often. You will usually find Tactics Boxes, figures, or examples in the textbook that are directly relevant to the exercises. When asked to draw figures or diagrams, you should attempt to draw them so that they look much like the figures and diagrams in the textbook.
