Cutnell and Johnson has been the Number one text in the algebra-based physics market for over 20 years.

Physics by Inquiry is a set of laboratory-based modules that provide a step-by-step introduction to physics and the physical sciences.

Each chapter includes a short explanation of the scientific background, making this book highly accessible to those without an advanced knowledge of physics.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

This story line, which motivates much of our professional research, has helped us limit the material presented to a more humane and more realistic amount than is presented in many beginning university physics courses.

This book is an invaluable resource for physics teachers.

Physics does not have to be daunting. This book, complete with practice questions and answers, forms a course which will take you from beginner or intermediate level to having a confident grasp of physics.

Humorous illustrations and stories complete the text, making it not only easy but fun to learn this important science.

The book covers all the material required in an introductory physics course. Each topic is introduced from first principles so that the text is suitable for students without a prior background in physics.
