Iowa Progressive bedroom communities of Des Moines, Iowa. This is not a cursory review of Physics-The Root Science with Applications. I have used the textbook to teach students for more than five years as it was being developed by the authors and in its final form for publication. I am a biology major with a minor in chemistry and Spanish and certification in physics. I have found the text to lend itself to use by someone with my background.
Flexibility is one of the many strong points of the text.
There are a sampling of lab suggestions and problem samples in the text. There are references to supplement the material. I have found Physics-The Root Science to meet the needs of both myself and my students. It is a text that I can use to successfully introduce the world of physics to a variety of students with a variety of needs and backgrounds.
