Fully solved examples with explanations show you step-by-step how to solve standard physics problems.
Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units.
Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples.
Answers, hints, intermediate answers, and explanations are provided for every practice exercise.
Terms and concepts which are essential to solving physics problems are defined and explained.
VOLUME: This volume covers motion, including uniform acceleration, vector addition, projectile motion, Newton's laws, conservation of energy, collisions, rotation, satellites, and more. (Vol. 2 covers electricity and magnetism, while Vol. 3 covers waves, fluids, heat, sound, and light. Vol.'s 2-3 will be released in the spring of 2017.) AUTHOR: The author, Dr. Chris McMullen, has over 20 years of experience teaching university physics in California, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana (and has also taught physics to gifted high school students). Dr. McMullen currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He has also published a half-dozen papers on the collider phenomenology of superstring-inspired large extra dimensions. Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in particle physics from Oklahoma State University (and his M.S. in physics from California State University, Northridge). Dr. McMullen is well-known for:
engaging physics students in challenging ideas through creativity
breaking difficult problems down into manageable steps
providing clear and convincing explanations to subtle issues
his mastery of physics and strong background in mathematics
helping students become more fluent in practical math skills
MATH REVIEW: Separate chapters cover essential algebra skills (like the quadratic formula), geometry formulas (like the area of a circle), and trigonometry skills (like finding an inverse tangent). SOLUTIONS: The back of the book includes a detailed section of hints, intermediate answers, final answers, and explanations to help you solve each problem one step at a time. It's like having a physics tutor in the back of the book. (However, if you would prefer complete solutions, search for ISBN 1941691161.) USES: This study guide workbook can be used to:
learn how to solve fundamental physics problems
find fully-solved examples of standard physics problems
develop fluency in physics via practice exercises that include answers, hints, and explanations
quickly find the most essential physics terms, concepts, and formulas
review for standardized exams, such as MCAT, AP Physics, SAT, or the fundamentals of the GRE.

CONTENTS This practice book is designed to help students develop proficiency with their long division skills by offering ample practice. This book is conveniently divided up into six parts:
Part 1 reviews division facts with single-digit divisor and quotient since swift knowledge of these is critical toward long division mastery.
Part 2 is limited to single-digit divisors. This way students are not challenged with too much too soon.
Part 3 focuses on double-digit divisors.
Parts 4 and 5 provide practice with remainders.
Part 6 features a variety of multi-digit long division problems with and without remainders.
An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook.
A multiplication table is provided to help students who are just learning their division facts.
SCORING Kids are encouraged to time and score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills.

AUTHOR Chris McMullen holds a Ph.D. in physics and teaches physics, astronomy, and physical science (including the concepts of chemistry) at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He is highly regarded for his ability to explain science concepts clearly and to get students interested in learning about science. OVERVIEW This book focuses on fundamental chemistry concepts, such as understanding the periodic table of the elements and how chemical bonds are formed. No prior knowledge of chemistry is assumed. The mathematical component involves only basic arithmetic. The content is much more conceptual than mathematical.
AUDIENCE It is geared toward helping anyone - student or not - to understand the main ideas of chemistry. Both students and non-students may find it helpful to be able to focus on understanding the main concepts without the constant emphasis on computations that is generally found in chemistry lectures and textbooks.
CONTENTS
(1) Understanding the organization of the periodic table, including trends and patterns. (2) Understanding ionic and covalent bonds and how they are formed, including the structure of valence electrons. (3) A set of rules to follow to speak the language of chemistry fluently: How to name compounds when different types of compounds follow different naming schemes. (4) Understanding chemical reactions, including how to balance them and a survey of important reactions. (5) Understanding the three phases of matter: properties of matter, amorphous and crystalline solids, ideal gases, liquids, solutions, and acids/bases. (6) Understanding atomic and nuclear structure and how it relates to chemistry. (7) VErBAl ReAcTiONS: A brief fun diversion from science for the verbal side of the brain, using symbols from chemistry's periodic table to make word puzzles.
ANSWERS Every chapter includes self-check exercises to offer practice and help the reader check his or her understanding. 100% of the exercises have answers at the back of the book.
COPYRIGHT Teachers who purchase one copy of this book or borrow one copy of this book from a library may reproduce selected pages for the purpose of teaching chemistry concepts to their own students.
EDITIONS This book is available in paperback in 5.5" x 8.5"(portable size), 8.5" x 11" (large size, ISBN 978-1479201259), and as an eBook. This 5.5" x8.5" edition is the most portable, while the details of the figures -including the periodic tables - are most clear in the large size andlarge print edition (ISBN 978-1479201259). However, the paperback editions are inblack-and-white, whereas the eBook is in color.

CONTENTS This Algebra Essentials Practice Workbook with Answers provides ample practice for developing fluency in very fundamental algebra skills - in particular, how to solve standard equations for one or more unknowns. These algebra 1 practice exercises are relevant for students of all levels - from grade 7 thru college algebra. This workbook is conveniently divided up into seven chapters so that students can focus on one algebraic method at a time. Skills include solving linear equations with a single unknown (with a separate chapter dedicated toward fractional coefficients), factoring quadratic equations, using the quadratic formula, cross multiplying, and solving systems of linear equations. Not intended to serve as a comprehensive review of algebra, this workbook is instead geared toward the most essential algebra skills. An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook. Students are encouraged to time and score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills.
PRACTICE With no pictures, this workbook is geared strictly toward learning the material and developing fluency through practice.
EXAMPLES Each section begins with a few pages of instructions for how to solve the equations followed by a few examples. These examples should serve as a useful guide until students are able to solve the problems independently.
ANSWERS Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.
PHOTOCOPIES The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.
