Physics & Astronomy

The package for Physics for Scientists and Engineers includes:

• Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics, 2/e (text)
• 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.

Builds problem-solving skills and confidence using an explicit, methodical, and consistent approach.

• A consistent 4-step approach provides a problem-solving framework throughout the book (and all supplements): students learn the importance of making assumptions (in the MODEL step) and gathering information and making sketches (in the VISUALIZE step) before treating the problem mathematically (SOLVE) and then analyzing their result (ASSESS).
• Detailed problem-solving strategies for different topics and categories of problems are developed throughout the book, each one built on the MODEL/VISUALIZE/SOLVE/ASSESS framework.
• Tactics Boxes give step-by-step procedures for developing specific skills (drawing free-body diagrams, using ray tracing, etc.).
• Worked examples follow the 4-step strategies and include careful explanations of the underlying, and often unstated, reasoning.
• The Student Workbook provides straightforward confidence- and skill-building exercises, bridging the gap between worked examples and end-of-chapter problems. Worksheets following the MODEL/VISUALIZE/SOLVE/ASSESS framework provide tear-out templates for students to follow when practicing solving problems.

Promotes a deeper and better-connected understanding using a structured learning path and an inductive approach with exceptional clarity.

• Each chapter begins with a motivational roadmap. Looking Ahead provides learning goals to focus the student on the key ideas; Looking Back references consolidate connections with previous topics.
• Unique and critically acclaimed visual chapter summaries consolidate understanding by providing each concept in words, math, and figures and organizing these into a vertical hierarchy—from General Principles (top) to Applications (bottom).
• The student’s understanding of groups of chapters is also consolidated. Each Part begins with a two-page introductory Overview of the chapters ahead. Each Part ends with a Summary that draws together key concepts from the preceding chapter into a visual Knowledge Structure.
• New concepts are introduced through observations about the real world and theories grounded by making sense of observations. This inductive approach illustrates how science operates, and has been shown to improve student learning by reconciling new ideas with what they already know.
• NOTE paragraphs throughout guide students away from known preconceptions and around common sticking points and highlight many math- and vocabulary-related issues that have been proven to cause difficulties.
• Stop to Think questions at the end of a section allow students to quickly check their understanding. Using powerful ranking-task and graphical techniques, they are designed to efficiently probe key misconceptions and encourage active reading. (Answers are provided at the end of the chapter.)

Pioneers the implementation of proven visual techniques that cognitive science has shown significantly increase engagement, assimilation, and retention of science concepts.

• Figures are carefully streamlined in detail and color so students focus on the physics–for instance, the object of interest in mechanics.
• Explicit instruction as annotations directly on figures helps students to interpret figures and graphs.
• Extensive use is made of multiple representations–placing different representations side by side to help students develop the key skill of translating between words, math, and figures. Essential to good problem-solving, this skill is overlooked in most physics textbooks.
• Analogy is used throughout the text and figures to consolidate student understanding by comparing with a more familiar concept or situation.

Provides research-enhanced problems for optimized assessment and practice – Unprecedented analysis of national student metadata (including time spent, most common wrong answers, and comment rate) has allowed every problem to be systematically enhanced for educational effectiveness and accurately calibrated in difficulty (shown in the book) and duration (provided in MasteringPhysics™). Similar analysis has allowed the problem sets in every chapter to be revised to ensure ideal topic coverage, balance of qualitative and quantitative problems, and range of difficulty and duration.

• Conceptual Questions require careful reasoning and can be used for group discussions or individual work.
• Exercises (for each section) allow students to build up their skills and confidence with straightforward, one-step questions.
• Problems (spanning concepts from the whole chapter), require in-depth reasoning and planning, and allow students to practice their problem-solving strategies. Context-rich problems require students to simplify and model more complex real-world situations. Specifically labeled problems integrate concepts from multiple previous chapters.
• Challenge Problems push the best students even further.

• Special Emphasis on using and interpreting graphs is in both the textbook and the accompanying Student Workbook to further develop the use of multiple representations.
• “Annotated figures” have become an even stronger part of the pedagogy to build on their proven effectiveness.
• Worked examples are built around real-world scenarios to enhance the accessibility and relevance of the material.
• Hand-drawn sketches are incorporated into select worked examples to provide a clear model of what students should draw during their own problem solving.
• The end-of-chapter problems are rated by students to show difficulty level with the variety expanded to include more real-world, challenging, and explicitly calculus-based problems.
• The revised Workbook is tightly integrated with the main text – following the same textbook strategies, and is explicitly referenced throughout the text. Conceptual questions have been moved from the Workbook into the textbook to provide qualitative and/or discussion questions in the textbook and to allow the Workbook to focus on hands-on drawing, graphing and sketching exercises.
• A chapter on optical instruments and a handful of additional, new subtopics have been added.

  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.

  • 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.
