University Calculus: Early Transcendentals
by Joel Hass George Thomas Christopher Heil Przemyslaw Bogacki Maurice WeirUniversity Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Multivariable helps students generalize and apply the key ideas of calculus through clear and precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, meticulously crafted figures, and superior exercise sets. This text offers the right mix of basic, conceptual, and challenging exercises, along with meaningful applications. In the 4th Edition, new co-authors Chris Heil (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Przemyslaw Bogacki (Old Dominion University) partner with author Joel Hass to preserve the text's time-tested features while revisiting every word, figure, and MyLab(TM) question with today's students in mind.
University Physics
by Wolfgang Bauer Gary D. WestfallUniversity Physics is intended for use in the calculus-based introductory physics sequence at universities and colleges. It can be used in either a two-semester introductory sequence or a three-semester sequence. The course is intended for students majoring in the biological sciences, the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering.
University Physics (Tenth Edition)
by Young Roger A. Freedman T. R. Sandin A. Lewis FordNow in its commemorative Tenth Edition, this book remains a classic. Adhering to the highest standards of integrity and incorporating some of the findings of current research in physics, it enables readers to develop physical intuition and build strong problem-solving skills. It also points out conceptual and computational pitfalls that commonly plague beginning physics students and provides them with explicit strategies for analyzing physical situations and solving problems.
University Physics (Volume 1) (13th Edition)
by Roger A. Freedman Hugh D. YoungUniversity Physics with Modern Physics, continues to set the benchmark for clarity and rigor combined with effective teaching and research-based innovation. University Physics is known for its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful set of worked examples--key tools for developing both physical understanding and problem-solving skills. The Thirteenth Edition revises all the Examples and Problem-Solving Strategies to be more concise and direct while maintaining the Twelfth Edition's consistent, structured approach and strong focus on modeling as well as math. To help students tackle challenging as well as routine problems, the Thirteenth Edition adds Bridging Problems to each chapter, which pose a difficult, multiconcept problem and provide a skeleton solution guide in the form of questions and hints. The text's rich problem sets--developed and refined over six decades--are upgraded to include larger numbers of problems that are biomedically oriented or require calculus. The problem-set revision is driven by detailed student-performance data gathered nationally through MasteringPhysics®, making it possible to fine-tune the reliability, effectiveness, and difficulty of individual problems. Complementing the clear and accessible text, the figures use a simple graphic style that focuses on the physics. They also incorporate explanatory annotations--a technique demonstrated to enhance learning.
