Product description

From the Back Cover

Features of the Text

  • Emphasize conceptual understanding:
    • NEW! Big Picture features begin each chapter, connecting past, present, and future content. Students will develop an understanding of the connections between different physics principles helping them to see how the overarching principles fit together.
    • Got It? questions present multiple-choice and ranking task problems in most sections to prompt students to check their understanding of key concepts as they read.
      • NEW! “GOT IT?” questions have been revised for clicker systems to inspire classroom discussion.
    • NEW! Media links (as scanable QR codes) link to Video Tutor Demos (VTDs). These are placed in the text near appropriate content, so students have easy access to a more visual, engaging presentation.
    • NEW! “For Thought and Discussion” answers are now available to instructors in the Mastering Instructor Resource Area (MIRA), making it easy to spark classroom discussion.
    • NEW! Increased numbers of both Conceptual Examples and worked examples help students understand how to work through the more difficult problems and concepts.
  • End-of-chapter problems have been revised as follows:
    • One new data-based, multipart problem appears in each chapter, supporting the new MCAT exam that will be released in 2015.
    • At least 20% of the problem sets have been improved based on analysis of metadata from MasteringPhysics, reinforcing areas where students struggle the most.
    • Significant figures have been made consistent throughout the text.
    • The Instructor’s Solution Manual has been thoroughly revised for accuracy.

Teach sound problem-solving skills:

  • NEW! Calculus earlier: the author has reorganized the text so that calculus examples and problems have been moved up earlier in the discussion, allowing students to tackle more challenging physics problems and instructors to introduce topics using either algebra or calculus.

Connect to the real world:

  • Every chapter includes Applications exploring modern examples of physics in the real world.
  • NEW! More engineering applications prepare engineering students for the field.

MasteringPhysics not included. Students, if MasteringPhysicsis a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MasteringPhysicsshould only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

MasteringPhysicsfrom Pearson is the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics.

  • Before Class:
    • NEW! Interactive Prelecture videos address the rapidly growing movement toward pre-lecture teaching and flipped classrooms. These videos provide an introduction to key topics with embedded assessment to help students prepare before lecture and to help professors identify student misconceptions.
  • During Class:
    • NEW! Learning Catalytics™ is an interactive, classroom tool that uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more sophisticated tasks and thinking. Now included with Mastering with eText, Learning Catalytics enables you to generate clas

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not A First Physics Book
    Reviewed in the United States on 26 January 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book because I have Dr. Wolfson's "Great Courses" physics lectures and was impressed with his presentations. Unlike his GC lectures that only use algebra and trig to solve problems, this is strictly a college level book for physics, math and engineering majors who are familiar with the use of calculus equations. I believe some other college physics book may have more example problems, but this book is above average in utilizing figures and drawings to help the reader visualize, "what's going on." Typical of any college level general physics books, explanatory lectures and demonstrations are needed to fully understand the subject, demonstrations.and important details.This also applies to Dr. Wolfson's, Vol 1 Essential University Physics book.

    What's different and above average in this book are the 3, "Answers Sections." At the bottom of the 1st page of each chapter is a question that is posed to the reader. The answer is provided at the end of the chapter in, "Answers to Chapter Questions." Also as you go along in each chapter, Dr. Wolfson poses some, "Got It?" questions to get you thinking about the material being presented. The answers to the "Got It?" questions are also at the end of the chapter in the, "Answers to Chapter Questions."

    Another section at the end of each chapter is called, "For Thought and Discussion." There are no answers provided to these questions because they are designed as questions that would be good for a class discussion or recitation classes. Then there is a section of standard physics problems at the end of each chapter. The answers to the odd-number problems are provided in the back of the book and usually start with problems 11 or 13. My guess is the earlier odd-numbered problems (1-9) are considered to be rather easy and straight forward.

    I gave the book the 5th star because of the excellent diagrams, "Got It" and "For Thought and Discussion" sections that really assist and test your comprehension of the material. Unlike some 1st general physics text books that use only algebra and trig, I believe very few students could use this book to sit down and teach themselves physics. All general physics text books are terse in order to keep the page count below 1,000.

    Amazing college book. Could easily get an A in my physics class just by following the book's methodology and solved problems.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Damaged, but Still Useable
    Reviewed in the United States on 16 August 2017
    Verified Purchase
    There was extensive water damage to the top half of the whole textbook. The pages were noticeably crinkly because of the water damage, and I had to carefully separate each page from each other since they were stuck together (from the water damage). The corners were a bit worn down and folded, and there were some dirt and mold on the pages. However, the text was thankfully still legible and there were seemingly no marks made on the pages. The state of the textbook wasn't too revolting since it's understandable that the used rental textbook would inevitably get damaged along the way.
