The way the Physics 2000 text deals with spring
potential energy and energy topics is in this order:
1) Kinetic Energy
2) Gravitational potential energy
3) Work
4) Potential energy in springs.
So that author hasn't found a simple way to present the topic of
spring potential energy without first presenting the work concept.
