Knight, Jones & Field,  College Physics: A Strategic Approach with MasteringPhysics™, 2/E

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.

• A consistent 3-step approach provides a problem-solving framework throughout the book: students learn to analyze a problem from several qualitative perspectives, and plan the solution (in the PREPARE step) before treating it mathematically (SOLVE), and then analyzing their result (ASSESS).
• Detailed problem-solving strategies for different topics are developed throughout the book, each one built on the PREPARE/SOLVE/ASSESS framework.
• Tactics Boxes give explicit procedures for developing specific skills (drawing free-body diagrams, using ray tracing, etc.).
• Worked examples follow the 3-step strategies and include careful explanations of the underlying, and often unstated, reasoning.
• Conceptual examples build students’ qualitative reasoning skills. They follow a REASON and then ASSESS strategy (no math is involved and so a SOLVE step is not needed).
• Explicit instruction, particularly on figures, is provided to help the student translate back and forth between different representations — such as verbal, pictorial, graphical, and mathematical descriptions.
• The Student Workbook provides straightforward confidence- and skill-building exercises.

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.

• Many Examples and end-of-chapter problems are set in the context of an interesting real-world scenario.
• Try It Yourself activities throughout the text provide students with simple real-world experiments, designed to reinforce an idea through direct experience.
• Free-standing applicationswith photographs and short captions are provided in the margin to connect the physical principles with the real world.

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).

• Based on the most recent educational research, the text takes exceptional care to guide students through what they need to know: it is complete, concise, and well worded.
• NOTE paragraphs target the many details (including math-related skills) that often cause students the most trouble.
• Stop to Think questions at the end of a section encourage active thought over passive reading. Using proven techniques from cognitive science, they are designed to help students discover and overcome their misconceptions. Answers are provided at the end of the chapter.
• Math relationship boxes discuss in detail the key mathematical relationships that are most common in this course, giving textual, graphical, and algebraic representations, and tips on how to reason with limiting cases, etc. Icons throughout the text refer back to the relevant math box when the relationship reoccurs, helping students see connections in the mathematical forms they need to use.

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.

• 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.
• Each chapter begins with a roadmap of the chapter ahead (in the Looking Ahead learning goals) so that students can focus on the key ideas; Looking Back references allow them to see key connections with earlier ideas.
• Unique visual chapter summaries help students organize their knowledge in a coherent hierarchy, rather than a jumbled set of disconnected facts, figures, and equations.
• Throughout, key ideas from educational research and proven techniques from cognitive science drive a unique approach to figures (e.g. annotation directly on figures, simplified use of color, little extraneous detail) to make physics more accessible.

  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.

  Suggested retail price: $126.67  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $95.00  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  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.

  Suggested retail price: $141.33  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $106.00  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  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.
