Force and Motion: An Illustrated Guide to Newton's Laws

Isaac Newton developed three laws
of motion that govern the everyday world. These laws are usually
presented in purely mathematical forms, but Jason Zimba breaks with
tradition and treats them visually. This unique approach allows students
to appreciate the conceptual underpinnings of each law before moving on
to qualitative descriptions of motion and, finally, to the equations
and their solutions.

Zimba has organized the book into seventeen
brief and well-sequenced lessons, which focus on simple, manageable
topics and delve into areas that often cause students to stumble. Each
lesson is followed by a set of original problems that have been
student-tested and refined over twenty years.

Zimba illustrates
the laws with more than 350 diagrams, an innovative presentation that
offers a fresh way to teach the fundamentals in introductory physics,
mechanics, and kinematics courses.
