This brief, paperback book is for students taking introductory physics where calculus is a prerequisite. For most students the key challenge in University Physics is learning how to solve problems. University Physics as a Second Language™ presents, in simple everyday language, a few easy-to-understand problem-solving approaches that can be applied to a wide range of physics problem types.
