商品簡介
This three-hole-punched, perforated-page lab manual for a two-semester course emphasizes conceptual understanding and includes a discussion of physical theory to help students see the connections between the lab and the lecture. It is specifically designed to keep equipment requirements at a minimum. Each lab includes objectives, a list of equipment, an explanation of underlying theory, and a set of pre-lab exercises to prepare students for the quantitative processes needed to perform the lab. Labs contain explicit instructions for performing measurements, detailed descriptions of calculations, and questions. Complete solutions to all portions of each lab are included. This third edition contains new labs using computer-assisted data-taking equipment. The theory section of each lab has been rewritten to include only what is required to prepare students to take the needed measurements. The manual is suitable for any algebra-based or calculus-based introductory physics course. Loyd is affiliated with Angelo State University.
