With its time-tested problems, pioneering conceptual and visual pedagogy, and next-generation media package, the Eleventh Edition of Young and Freedman's University Physics is the classic physics textbook with an eye on the future. 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 that have been developed and refined over the past five decades. The completely redesigned, pedagogically consistent artwork and diagrams integrate seamlessly with the text to help students better visualize key concepts. The cornerstone of the media package, MasteringPhysics™, provides a library of conceptual tutorials and rigorous multi-step problems that deliver immediate and individualized guidance to each student based on their wrong answers and difficulties and also powers a superior gradebook and student skill-diagnostics profiler. The result is a single, effective solution for assigning uncompromising quality online homework, giving each and every student help where and when they need it, and evaluating students on both an individual and class level.

• Problem-Solving Strategy Boxes have been enhanced to include an explicit four-step approach (ISEE: Identify, Set up, Execute, and Evaluate).

• Worked Examples within the text now consistently implement the ISEE strategy. More conceptual examples have been added throughout the text.

• A wealth of tried-and-tested Exercises, Problems, and the more rigorous Challenge Problems cover quantitative and qualitative aspects of all key concepts and integrate real-life situations.

• Popular Caution Paragraphs focus on typical misconceptions and student problem areas have been enhanced for easy reference and many more added throughout the text.

• More than 600 new problems have been added to the text's revered, tried-and-tested stable, giving it more than 3,700.

• The ISEE problem-solving strategy is used consistently throughout to help students build their skills and tackle more advanced problems more confidently and with greater success.

• Visual Summaries at the end of each chapter take key concepts and match a descriptive explanation, mathematical representation, and thumbnail diagram or graph in one easy-to-review table that better enables students to translate between these multiple representations.

• All art and diagrams have been completely redesigned and the color palette streamlined to create a consistent, simplified, and carefully crafted visual pedagogy that better helps students to identify key concepts and processes.

• Chapter Openers and Questions are used to motivate students with an interesting or unusual real-life situation. Key content the student needs to answer the question is marked in the chapter. This is wrapped up at the end of the chapter where the answer is provided to help students easily check their comprehension of the material.

• Quick in-text Test Your Understanding questions help students check their grasp of key concepts at the end of each section.

• MasteringPhysics™, a new web-based NSF-sponsored/MIT-developed system, revolutionizes the way professors can assign homework and understand their students' progress through its conceptual tutorials, multi-step problems, individualized and immediate feedback, and powerful student and class skill diagnostics.

• ActivPhysics On-Line delivers the highly acclaimed library of ActivPhysics applet-based activities on-line, utilizing visualization, simulation, and multiple-representation to help engage students and better explain tricky concepts using dynamic and interactive applets.

  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.

Hugh D. Young is Professor of Physics at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. He attended Carnegie-Mellon for both undergraduate and graduate study and earned his Ph.D. in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky. He joined the faculty of Carnegie-Mellon in 1956, and has also spent two years as a Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Professor Young's career has centered entirely on undergraduate education. He has written several undergraduate-level textbooks, and in 1973 became a co-author with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory texts. With their deaths, he assumed full responsibility for new editions of these books until joined by Prof. Freedman for University Physics.

Professor Young is an enthusiastic skier, climber, and hiker. He also served for many years as Associate Organist at St. Paul's Cathedral in Pittsburgh, and has played numerous organ recitals in the Pittsburgh area. Professor Young and his wife, Alice, usually travel extensively in the summer, especially in Europe and in the desert canyon country of southern Utah.

Roger A. Freedman is a Lecturer in Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Professor Freedman was an undergraduate at the University of California campuses in San Diego and Los Angeles, and did his doctoral research in nuclear theory at Stanford University under the direction of Professor J. Dirk Walecka. He came to UCSB in 1981 after three years teaching and doing research at the University of Washington.

At UCSB, Professor Freedman teaches in both the Department of Physics and the College of Creative Studies, a branch of the university intended for highly gifted and motivated undergraduates. He has published research in nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, and laser physics. In recent years, he has helped to develop computer-based tools for learning introductory physics and astronomy.

When not in the classroom or slaving over a computer, Professor Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilot's license) or driving with his wife, Caroline, in their 1955 Nash Metropolitan.

A. Lewis Ford is Professor of Physics at Texas A&M University. He received a B.A. from Rice University in 1968 and a Ph.D. in chemical physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1972. After a one-year postdoc at Harvard University, he joined the Texas A&M physics faculty in 1973 and has been there ever since. Professor Ford's research area is theoretical atomic physics, with a specialization in atomic collisions. At Texas A&M he has taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, but primarily introductory physics.

  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.

   

  All end-of-chapter problems from the text have been tested in MasteringPhysics by hundreds of students, ensuring unprecedented clarity, accuracy and quality.

Features such as annotated figures and step-by-step problem-solving strategies help provide a clear learning path for students.

   

  The crisp two-color design is clear and engaging. The streamlined art uses careful color and shade choices to distinguish physical quantities consistently. The art also incorporates the author’s voice annotations, pencil-style sketches, and visual chapter summaries. A self-evident hierarchy of screens organizes the pedagogical features, which allows the student to navigate easily through the material. 

   

  Essential University Physics is offered as two paperback volumes, available shrink-wrapped together and for sale individually.

  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.

  • 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.

  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.
