Great transaction

This was a smooth transaction. I received the book within the time frame needed and as stated. The book was in the condition I was expecting, slightly used. Great transaction overall.

Proven methods for great results.

This book uses principles developled by the University of Washington Physics Education Group. The inquiry method frees the instructor from the board, and asks students to learn on their own by facing their own misconceptions.
