Essential University Physics: Volume 1 & 2, Global Edition van Richard Wolfson is a complete textbook for university physics. This Global Edition bundles Volume 1 en Volume 2 deals with calculus-based physics for two- and three-semester courses.
Wolfson combines clear explanations with a focus on conceptual understanding and structured problem-solving. Students learn theory and application through practical examples, illustrations, and worked cases in engineering, science, and technology.
This fourth Global Edition has been expanded with new practice problems, improved strategies, and current applications that clarify interconnections between physics topics.
Key topics:
- Kinematics and dynamics
- Newton's laws of motion
- Work, energy, and momentum
- Rotation and gravitation
- Oscillations and waves
- Thermodynamics
- Electricity and magnetism
- Electrical circuits
- Electromagnetic induction
- Optics
- Special relativity
- Introduction to modern physics
By combining conceptual explanations, mathematical foundations, and practice-oriented applications, this textbook is particularly suitable for students Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science and other beta and technical programs within the HBO en WO.
