Physics & Astronomy

Walker uses an integrated "suite" of tools, worked Examples, Active Examples, and Conceptual Checkpoints,  to make conceptual understanding an integral part of solving quantitative problems.  The pedagogy and approach are based on over 20 years of teaching and reflect the results of physics education research.

"How much time do you spend introducing vectors in this course?"

 

Students often enter this course without the math background, including experience with vectors, to be successful. Walker devotes a full chapter (Chapter 3) to vectors to provide an additional resource for students.

 

"What is the problem-solving process you teach your students to use?"

 

Students use the worked Examples in the text as a guide for solving problems. Every worked Example in Walker is structured to provide a systematic process for solving problems:

Picture the Problem reminds students to visualize the situation, identify and label important quantities, and set up a coordinate system. This step is always accompanied by a figure and free-body diagram when appropriate.

Strategy helps students learn to analyze the problem, identify the key physical concepts, and map a plan for the solution.

Solution is presented in two-columns to help students translate the words of the problem on the left to the equations they will use to solve it on the right.

Insight points out interesting or significant features of the problem, solution process, or the result.

Practice Problem is the last part of the Example. Here, students are given the opportunity to test their understanding and skills on a problem similar to the one just worked.

  

 

"What role does conceptual understanding play in your course?"

 

Much like clicker questions an instructor might ask in class, Conceptual Checkpoints serve as a pause in the reading for students to check their understanding. These multiple choice, conceptual questions recognize and address common student misconceptions.

 

"How do you help students go from the worked Examples in the text to the end-of-chapter Problems they are assigned for homework?"

 

Active Examples serve as a bridge between the fully worked Examples and the end-of-chapter Problems. Students take an active role by thinking through the logic of the steps on the left and checking their answers with the answer on the right. This unique pedagogical tool prepares students to better tackle homework problems on their own.

 

 

 "Do you assign and grade conceptual questions for homework?"

 

Conceptual Exercises are conceptual ranking task exercises in multiple-choice format. Because they are multiple-choice they can be assigned and easily graded as paper and pencil homework, in an online homework system, or in class using a personal response system.

 

 

Other Key Features:

 

Problem Solving Notes

Marginal Problem Solving Notes highlight useful problem-solving methods while also pointing out

common pitfalls and misconceptions.

 

Applications

Students taking introductory physics often wonder how the course is applicable to the challenges they will face in their lives and their careers. Students using Walker have commented that every time they ask themselves this, the book points out a relevant and interesting application of the material.  Real-world and Biological applications are identified by a marginal icon. A list of Applications is available in the Preface.

 

Chapter Summary

Each chapter contains a Chapter Summary organized in an outline format for easy reference and study. The Third Edition Chapter Summary includes key figures from the chapter which serve as a visual reminder as students review.

 

Problem Solving Summary

In addition to the Chapter Summary, each chapter includes a Problem-Solving Summary. Formatted in an easy-to-reference outline, this summary lists the types of problems covered in the chapter as well as the relevant concepts and specific Examples for each.

 

 Conceptual Questions and Exercises

Conceptual Questions are qualitative questions that allow students to test their understanding of the chapter principles. Because these are open-ended questions, they also provide a resource for in-class or small group discussion.

Conceptual Exerices are conceptual ranking task exercises in multiple-choice format. Because they are multiple-choice they can be assigned and easily graded as paper and pencil homework, in an online homework system, or in class using a personal response system.

Answers to odd-numbered Conceptual Questions and Exercises are available in the back of the book.

 

Integrated Problems (IP)

Integrated Problems, marked IP, contain two parts: a quantitative problem as well as a conceptual question. This format requires students to check their answer to one part against their answer to the other and promotes this kind of thinking as an important step in solving problems.

 

 

Interactive Problems and Interactive Figures

A new section of Interactive Problems has been added to the homework.  In these Problems, an Example, Active Example, Conceptual Checkpoint, or Figure "comes alive" as the computer animates the corresponding physical system.  These Interactive Figures, marked with an icon in the text, are designed to be flexible in their application — they can be used in lecture, as a "virtual lab", or as a component of a homework assignment. They are available in the Walker OneKey cartridges, on the Companion Website, and on the Instructor’s Resource Center on CD-ROM.  By giving direct visual feedback to the student, they help to reinforce what is being learned and to provide an additional pathway of understanding. (see Interactive Figure p.302 Conceptual Checkpoint 10-4 and Interactive Problems on p.314 Problems 96 and 97) 

 

Conceptual Exercises

This NEW section includes conceptual multiple-choice and ranking task exercises. Because they are multiple-choice they can be assigned and easily graded as paper and pencil homework, in an online homework system, or in class using a personal response system. (see p.199)

 

New and Revised Problems

Jim Walker has been widely recognized for writing interesting, real-world Problems covering a wide range of difficulty. Based on detailed reviewer feedback, 30% of the end of chapter Problems are either new or revised making the Third Edition the best collection of Problems available for algebra-based physics. Jim's personal favorites have titles in the 3/e. (see The World's Fastest Turbine p.309 Problem 24, Dinosaur Sounds p.474 Problem 86, and Cooking Doughnuts p.513 Problem 86)

 

On-line Homework with Problem-specific Hints and Feedback

Prentice Hall Grade Assist (PHGA) contains end of chapter Conceptual Exercises and Problems from the Third Edition. Variables for Problems are algorithmically generated and Problems are graded automatically. PHGA for the Third Edition contains Problem-specific hints and feedback based on common student misconceptions.

  ISBN-10: 0136331246 | ISBN-13: 9780136331247
  Brief Description

  

  For courses in Algebra-based Physics.

  Walker's suite of pedagogical tools fosters understanding of physical principles and active involvement in the learning process. Because one-size-fits-all examples do not sufficiently address the needs of students, Walker employs a variety of pedagogical elements, each used where it can contribute most to developing conceptual insight and problem-solving skills.

MasteringPhysics^TM is the most advanced, educationally effective, and widely used physics homework and tutorial system in the world. It provides instructors with a library of extensively pre-tested end-of-chapter problems and rich, multi-part, multi-step tutorials that incorporate a wide variety of answer types, wrong-answer feedback, individualized help, and all driven by the largest metadatabase of student problem-solving in the world. 8 years in development and testing, NSF-sponsored published research (and subsequent studies) shows that MasteringPhysics^TM has dramatic educational results.

MasteringPhysics for Walker, Physics, Third Edition includes only the end of chapter exercises for Fall 2007 classes. Beginning in January 2008, we will be fine-tuning the tutorial content in preparation for the fourth edition�s release for Fall 2008 classes with the complete MasteringPhysics Problem Library.

    James S. Walker James Walker obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Washington in 1978. He subsequently served as a post-doc at the University of Pennsylvania, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of California at San Diego before joining the physics faculty at Washington State University in 1983. Professor Walker’s research interests include statistical mechanics, critical phenomena, and chaos. His many publications on the application of renormalization-group theory to systems ranging from absorbed monolayers to binary-fluid mixtures have appeared in Physical Review, Physical Review Letters, Physica, and a host of other publications. He has also participated in observations on the summit of Mauna Kea, looking for evidence of extra-solar planets.

    Jim Walker likes to work with students at all levels, from judging elementary school science fairs to writing research papers

with graduate students, and has taught introductory physics for many years. His enjoyment of this course and his empathy for students have earned him a reputation as an innovative, enthusiastic, and effective teacher. Jim’s educational publications include “Reappearing Phases” (Scientific American, May 1987) as well as articles in the American

Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher. In recognition of his contributions to the teaching of physics, Jim was named Boeing Distinguished Professor of Science and Mathematics Education for 2001—2003.

    When he is not writing, conducting research, teaching, or developing new classroom demonstrations and pedagogical materials, Jim enjoys amateur astronomy, bird watching, photography, juggling, unicycling, boogie boarding, and kayaking. Jim is also an avid jazz pianist and organist. He has served as ballpark organist for several Class A minor league baseball teams, including minor league affiliates of the Seattle Mariners and San Francisco Giants.

  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  Building on the results of an extensive NSF-funded educational research program and detailed input from an unprecedented 4,500 students and 250 instructors, Randy Knight and Addison-Wesley published Physics for Scientists and Engineers in 2003. Already the most widely adopted new physics text published in more than 30 years, this book has attracted widespread critical acclaim with instructors and is preferred by 85% of their students over other available texts. In College Physics: A Strategic Approach, Randy Knight is joined by Brian Jones and Stuart Field to carefully apply the best solutions from educational research to the algebra-based introductory physics course, and the particular needs of those students.

   

  Built from the ground up on a wealth of research into how students learn physics and how they can be taught more effectively, College Physics leads students to more proficient and long-lasting problem-solving skills, a deeper and better-connected understanding of the concepts, and a broader picture of the relevance of physics to their chosen career and the world around them. In particular, College Physics:

  • BUILDS students’ problem-solving abilities and confidence–starting with basic skills and core concepts, using explicit and systematic problem-solving strategies, and carefully progressing to more advanced and wide-ranging problems
  • INTEGRATES relevant examples and interesting topics–drawing from students’ majors and the world they live in and carefully woven into the text and worked examples to give students motivation, a means to consolidate their understanding, and a clear context for how physics is valuable to them
  • EXPLICITLY ADDRESSES students’ preconceptions, misconceptions, and common stumbling blocks–guiding students to a solid foundational knowledge of connected concepts and to confidence in applying their understanding
  • PROVIDES a highly readable and accessible text–building from familiar and concrete examples, providing a carefully structured learning path, and employing key ideas from educational research into how visual pedagogy can be used to help make physics more accessible

   College Physics is accompanied by MasteringPhysics^TM–the most advanced, educationally effective, and widely used online physics tutorial and homework system in the world. MasteringPhysicsä provides a next-generation solution for assigning uncompromising quantitative and conceptual online homework, giving each student tutorial help precisely where and when they need it, and evaluating student performance in detail on an individual and class level.

  ISBN-10: 013613923X | ISBN-13: 9780136139232
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  For the calculus-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors (including physics majors).

   

  This long-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli's reputation for creating carefully crafted, highly accurate and precise physics texts. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics. The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media and online resources that enhance the understanding of physics.

   

  This book is written for students. It aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear, and to teach students by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying.

   

  Physics is a description of reality, and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can directly relate to. We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic. Not only does this make the material more interesting and easier to understand, but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced.

  • Student Workbook for Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics  (workbook)
  • MasteringPhysics® Student Access Kit (access kit)

  As the most widely adopted new physics text in more than 50 years, Knight’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers was published to widespread critical acclaim from professors and students. In this eagerly awaited second edition, Knight builds on the research-proven instructional techniques he introduced, as well as national data of student performance, to take student learning even further. Knight’s unparalleled insight into student learning difficulties, and his impeccably skillful crafting of text and figures at every level — from macro to micro — to address these difficulties, results in a uniquely effective and accessible book, leading students to a deeper and better-connected understanding of the concepts and more proficient problem-solving skills.

   

  Building on an NSF-sponsored educational research program and input from tens of thousands of student users, the second edition refines and extends the pedagogical innovations that years of use has now shown to be effective. Unprecedented analysis of national student metadata has allowed every problem to be systematically enhanced for educational effectives, and to ensure problem sets of ideal topic coverage, balance of qualitative and quantitative problems, and range of difficulty and duration.

   

  The second edition comes with the latest edition of MasteringPhysics™—the most advanced, educationally effective (as shown by gains in student exams scores and independent tests), and widely used online physics tutorial and homework system in the world. It provides the largest library of research-based tutorials and textbook problems available, and automatic grading of activities as wide-ranging as numerical problems with randomized values and algebraic answers to free-hand drawn graphs and free-body diagrams.

  Re>University Physics with Modern Physics, Twelfth Edition continues an unmatched history of innovation and careful execution that was established by the bestselling Eleventh Edition. Assimilating the best ideas from education research, this new edition provides enhanced problem-solving instruction, pioneering visual and conceptual pedagogy, the first systematically enhanced problems, and the most pedagogically proven and widely used homework and tutorial system available.

   

  Using Young & Freedman's research-based ISEE (Identify, Set Up, Execute, Evaluate) problem-solving strategy, students develop the physical intuition and problem-solving skills required to tackle the text's extensive high-quality problem sets, which have been developed and refined over the past five decades. Incorporating proven techniques from educational research that have been shown to improve student learning, the figures have been streamlined in color and detail to focus on the key physics and integrate 'chalkboard-style' guiding commentary. Critically acclaimed ‘visual’ chapter summaries help students to consolidate their understanding by presenting each concept in words, math, and figures.

   

  Renowned for its superior problems, the Twelfth Edition goes further. Unprecedented analysis of national student metadata has allowed every problem to be systematically enhanced for educational effectiveness, and to ensure problem sets of ideal topic coverage, balance of qualitative and quantitative problems, and range of difficulty and duration.

   

  If a professor adopts MasteringPhysics^TM, every new copy of the text includes access to it — the most widely used, educationally proven, and technically advanced tutorial and homework system in the world. Uniquely able to tutor each student individually with feedback specific to their errors and simpler subproblems upon demand, MasteringPhysics^™ now incorporates free-hand graphs, free-body diagrams, ray-tracing diagrams, even ranking-task activities. MasteringPhysics^™ provides all the problems from the text as well as tutorials specific to the Problem-Solving Strategies and Test Your Understanding questions in each chapter.
