About The Author

David L. Tauck

David L. Tauck

Dr. David L. Tauck holds both a B.A. in biology and an M.A. in Spanish from Middlebury College. He got his Ph.D. in physiology at Duke University and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard University and Stanford University in neuroscience and anesthesia, respectively. Since joining the Santa Clara University faculty in 1987, he has served as the College Committee on Rank and Tenure, Chair of the Biology Department, and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee; he has also served as president of the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

Philip R. Kesten

Philip R. Kesten

Dr. Philip Kesten is the Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies at Santa Clara University, USA. Dr. Philip R. Kesten got his B.S. in physics from MIT and earned his Ph.D. in High Energy Particle Physics from the University of Michigan. Dr. Kesten was a member of the experimental collaboration at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory that announced the discovery of the top quark in 1994.

Since joining the Santa Clara faculty in 1990, Philip has served as Faculty Director of the ATOM, Chair of Physics, and da Vinci Residential Learning Communities, Associate Provost for the Residential Learning Communities Program, and Director of the Ricard Memorial Observatory. He has received Santa Clara University’s highest awards for teaching excellence, curriculum innovation, and student advising

Dr. Kesten holds two US patents and has published two internationally acclaimed best-selling physics textbooks.

In University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences Volume 1 (PDF), authors Philip R. Kesten and David L. Tauck take a fresh and innovative approach to the university physics (calculus-based) course. They combine their experience teaching biology (Tauck) and physics (Kesten) to create a textbook that engages college students by using medical and biological applications and examples to illustrate essential concepts.

The University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences Vol. 1 eBook teaches the fundamentals of introductory physics, while weaving in formative physiology, biomedical, and life science topics to help science students connect physics to living systems. The authors help pre-med and life-science students develop a deeper appreciation for why physics is important to their daily lives and future work. With its thorough coverage of problem-solving strategies and concepts, University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences ebook can also be used as a novel approach to teaching physics to scientists and engineers or for a more rigorous approach to teaching the college physics (algebra-based) course.

Volume 1: 1-4292-0493-1
Volume 2: 1-4292-8982-1 (NOT included in this purchase)

University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences uses 6 key features to help college students learn the principle concepts of university physics:

  • Detailed artwork designed to promote visual learning
  • Conceptual questions (Got the Concept) built into the flow of the textbook,
  • Special attention to common misconceptions that often plague science students
  • “Estimate It!” problems that allow students to practice important estimation skills
  • A seamless blend of physics and physiology with interesting examples of physics in students’ lives,
  • A strong focus on developing problem-solving skills (Solve, Set Up, and Reflect problem-solving strategy)
