| Summary |
"A Problem Solving Approach Guide book"-- Provided by publisher |
|
"This guide provides step-by-step instructions to guide those using Scientific Notebook (SNB) software to deal with physics problems. Including a CD enabling the reader to have 30-day trial of SNB software, the book contains many examples with detailed explanations of how to use the features of SNB to solve many physics problems. While it follows the traditional undergraduate physics curriculum typically used by textbooks and can therefore be used to supplement any undergraduate physics text, professional physicists and engineers will also find the book useful"-- Provided by publisher |
