ASPC is designed for honors-level or accelerated high school freshmen. It is a physical science text that trims away the fat and goes deep so that students get a solid preparatory foundation in these two subjects. Centripetal Press advocates a "physics first" approach to the high school science sequence. In short, having a light physics-based course in 9th grade creates the possibility of carry-over into later science course in a way that the standard "biology first" sequence does not. Energy, work, heat transfer, the atomic model, the periodic table, substances, atomic bonding, and other subjects require only Algebra I mathematics. (Freshmen using ASPC should have already completed Algebra I in the 8th grade.) In addition to these subjects, important skills in the laboratory, plus unit conversions, scientific notation, metric prefixes, and the writing of lab reports are essential skills that students will thoroughly learn in this text. Imagine going on to accelerated 10th grade chemistry with all of these skills and concepts firmly in hand! The chemistry class can cover more ground when they do not need to cover those essentials. And the practice of building upon skills already learned supports the "mastery learning" paradigm employed in every Centripetal Press textbook.

A physics course for 9th to 11th grade covering essential physics concepts. Introductory Physics is a mastery-oriented text specially designed to foster content mastery and retention when used with the companion resource materials available on CD from Centripetal Press. Another key feature of Centripetal Press texts is the integration of related subjects: history, mathematics, language skills, epistemology (the philosophy of knowledge) as well as frequent references from the humanities. Fresh pedagogical ideas and presentation make this text a superior choice for all learning environments where rigor and lucidity are desired in a text.

Since the invention of the laser, our fascination with the photon has led to one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing fields of technology. An explosion of new materials, devices, and applications makes it more important than ever to stay current with the latest advances. Surveying the field from fundamental concepts to state-of-the-art developments, Photonics: Principles and Practices builds a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of photonics from the basics of light waves to fiber optics and lasers. Providing self-contained coverage and using a consistent approach, the author leads you step-by-step through each topic. Each skillfully crafted chapter first explores the theoretical concepts of each topic and then demonstrates how these principles apply to real-world applications by guiding you through experimental cases illuminated with numerous illustrations. Coverage is divided into six broad sections, systematically working through light, optics, waves and diffraction, optical fibers, fiber optics testing, and laboratory safety. A complete glossary, useful appendices, and a thorough list of references round out the presentation. The text also includes a 16-page insert containing 28 full-color illustrations. Containing several topics presented for the first time in book form, Photonics: Principles and Practices is simply the most modern, comprehensive, and hands-on text in the field.
