Although the solution to every physics problem fits a set pattern, many readers still approach each one as if it's unique. Offering user-friendly advice, this self-study companion provides readers with techniques that they'll be able to apply in order to uncover these patterns to solve a variety of problems.

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.

Tom Barrett is a lecturer at Ohio State University where he teaches calculus-based introductory physics.
