The text places strong emphasis not just on solving problems but on helping students understand the meaning of the solutions. The authors provide gentle but thorough introductions to useful mathematical techniques beyond differentiation and integration that students will undoubtedly find very useful in their intermediate-level physics studies. Active learning is well integrated into the text in the form of Discovery Exercises and Active Reading Exercises; assessment is also integrated through Quick Check and Conceptests. Readers will find a broad range of useful tools on the book's website, and the text is sufficiently modular to allow instructors and lifelong learners to select portions of chapters in which they're most interested for detailed study. I highly recommend this text.'

The flexible approach taken by the authors allows instructors to easily incorporate as much or as little active learning into their teaching as they choose. Chapters are enhanced by 'Discovery' and 'Active Reading' exercises to guide students through key ideas before or during class, while 'ConcepTests' help check student understanding and stimulate classroom discussions. Each chapter also includes extensive assessment material, with a range of basic comprehension questions, drill and practice calculations, computer-based problems, and explorations of advanced applications. A test bank and interactive animations as well as other support for instructors and students are available online. Students are engaged by an accessible and lively writing style, thorough explanations, 'Math Interludes' which account for varying levels of skill and experience, and advanced topics to further pique their interest in physics.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1.
