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 30years, 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
College Physics is accompanied by MasteringPhysicsTM–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.
Builds students’ problem-solving abilities and confidence — Students need to learn how to visualize problems and proceed to solve them, rather than simply look for a similar example that they can minimally modify.
Integrates relevant examples and interesting topics — Interesting and wide-ranging examples from biology, technology, sports, and medicine provide students with motivational examples of how physics will help them in their chosen career and in understanding the world around them.
Explicitly addresses students’ preconceptions, misconceptions, and common stumbling blocks — Throughout, the text carefully guides students away from their known preconceptions, and around common sticking points (often unstated or under-explained in conventional texts).
Provides a highly readable and accessible text — Research shows that these students need an engaging text that starts from concrete examples and carefully works to abstract concepts, making connections and guiding understanding.
