1125 [A-25, C-4, I-12] pages : illustrations ; 29 cm. "College Physics: A Strategic Approach, 4th Edition expands its focus from how mixed majors students learn physics to focusing on why these students learn physics. The authors present basic physics in real world examples that engage students and connect physics with other fields, including biological sciences, architecture, and natural resources. From these connections, students not only learn in research-driven ways but also understand why they are taking the course and how it applies to other areas"-- Provided by publisher.
