What’s New

• Further highlighted emphasis on biomedical applications of physics and added coverage of recent technologies, including hydrostatic weighing, application of Archimedes’ Principle, and a new discussion of recent advances in laser eye surgery. This focus motivates health science students and helps to prepare them for future studies.
• Expanded CD and website include extensive supplemental examples and exercises. More problem-solving practice improves students' chance for success in the course.
• The organization and exercise sets of the 1999 third edition remain unchanged in the Update, so the solutions manual and other supplements have not changed, nor will the users of the third edition need to change their lesson plans in any way.
