First, Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation is examined and the concept of the \"gravitational field\" is introduced. Next, conserved quantities (i.e., quantities that do not change over time) are introduced and added to a repertoire of problem-solving strategies. Next, rotational motion is examined―instead of limiting one's analysis to the motion of objects moving in a straight line, objects which rotate, spin, and tumble can now be analyzed. Finally, the volume concludes with a look forward to electricity and magnetism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresents complex physics with simplified mathematics (Conceptual and algebra-based with little of the calculus-based elements.
