First sentence: 1. Ideal particle. Many objects and systems are complex in their structure and in their motions, and it often is useful to reduce such objects to simpler conceptual forms to get at certain underlying principles devoid of "distracting appendages."
Description: For both chapter review and problem-solving technique, this learning aid provides valuable reinforcement of the material in Ohanian's Physics. The study guide includes for every chater in the text
   - An overview highlighting connections to previous material
   - Essential terms for review
   - An in-depth examination of the key concepts, including cautionary notes about common misunderstandings
   - Sample problems that alternate worked problems with guided problems, thus supporting the student's development     of problem solving strategies.
   - Answers to all the sample problems
