College Physics: A Strategic Approach

College Physics: A Strategic Approach, 4th Edition expands its focus from how mixed majors students learn physics to focusing on why these students learn physics. The authors apply the best results from educational research and Mastering™ Physics metadata to present basic physics in real world examples that engage students and connect physics with other fields, including biological sciences, architecture, and natural resources. From these connections, students not only learn in research-driven ways but also understand why they are taking the course and how it applies to other areas.

College Physics: A Strategic Approach (AP Edition)

Building on the research-proven instructional techniques introduced in Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers, College Physics: A Strategic Approach, 3/e has set a new standard for algebra-based introductory physics, gaining widespread critical acclaim from professors and students alike. The text and MasteringPhysics work together to help physics students see the big picture, gain crucial problem-solving skills, and better prepare for both their lecture and future. -- www.pearsonhighered.com

College Physics: Tech Version

NIMAC-sourced textbook

College Physics

In the new Second Edition of College Physics, Peter Urone succeeds in carrying out several goals: to convey the concepts of physics and to help students build the analytical skills to apply them; to help students gain an appreciation for the underlying simplicity and unity in nature; and to impart a sense of the beauty and wonder found in the physical universe. To accomplish these goals, Urone blends coverage of the traditional topics with modern material; and familiar ideas from modern physics, such as the existence of atoms and the conversion of mass into energy, are incorporated early. Topics are introduced conceptually with a steady progression to precise definitions and analytical applications. The analytical aspect (problem solving) is tied back to the concept before moving on to another topic. Urone uses a four-part example and problem-solving mechanism to improve students' skills in solving problems, as well as understanding underlying concepts. The human, biological, and medical applications throughout the text are an important aspect of College Physics, Second Edition. By using human applications throughout the text, Urone encourages conceptual and analytical understanding of the material.

College Physics

Using step-by-step explanations of its worked examples, this text develops problem-solving skills. It also: emphasizes conceptual understanding, reinforced by examples; includes applications; and features a treatment that focuses on the essential core material.

For courses in College Physics. Help students see the connections between problem types and understand how to solve them For more than five decades, Sears and Zemansky's College Physics has provided the most reliable foundation of physics education for students around the world. With the 11th Edition, author Phil Adams incorporates data from thousands of surveyed students detailing their use and reliance on worked examples, video tutorials, and need for just-in-time remediation when working homework problems and preparing for exams. Driven by how students actually use the text and media today to prepare for their exams, the new edition adds worked examples and new Example Variation Problems in each chapter to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types. They learn to recognize when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging in an equation. The expanded problem types and scaffolded in-problem support help students develop greater confidence in solving problems, deepen conceptual understanding, and strengthen quantitative-reasoning skills for better exam performance. All new problems sets are available in Mastering Physics with wrong answer specific feedback along with a wealth of new wrong answer feedback, hints, and eTexts links with 20% of end of chapter problems.

College Physics (8th Edition)

Serway (emeritus, James Madison U. ) and Vuille (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical U.) update yet again their textbook for a one-year introduction to physics for majors in biology, the health professions, environmental and social sciences, and technical fields such architecture. It uses algebra, geometry, and trigonometry but not calculus. The goal is for students to acquire a clear and logical understanding of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and some idea about how those can be applied to, and demonstrated from, aspects of daily life. This edition is fully integrated with Enhanced WebAssign. It covers mechanics, thermodynamics, vibrations and waves, electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and modern physics.
