Introductory Physics Building Understanding

For over two decades, physics education research has been transforming physics teaching and learning. Now in this new algebra-based introductory physics text, Jerry Touger taps this work to support new teaching methodologies in physics. Introductory Physics: Building Understanding recognizes that students learn better in guided active learning environments, engages students in a conceptual exploration of the physical phenomena before mathematical formalisms, and offers explicit guidance in using qualitative thinking to inform quantitative problem solving.Touger, Jerold is the author of 'Introductory Physics Building Understanding', published 2005 under ISBN 9780471683094 and ISBN 0471683094.
