Textbook in PDF format

College Physics, Second Edition is the best solution for today's college physics market. With a unique, new, approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles, consistent problem solving coverage strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior media support, Giambattista, Richardson, and Richardson delivers a product that addresses today's market needs with the best tools available.
College Physics is intended for a two-semester college course in introductory physics using algebra and trigonometry. Our main goals in writing this book are
to present the basic concepts of physics that students need to know for later
courses and future careers,
to emphasize that physics is a tool for understanding the real world, and
to teach transferable problem-solving skills that students can use throughout their
lives.
