University Physics with Modern Physics, Global Edition

Product Information

Expanded - Caution paragraphs focus on typical misconceptions and student problem areas. Over a dozen more have been added based on common errors made in Pearson Mastering Physics. Key Concept statements to help you learn to look beyond the objects of the problem and recognise the underlying principle or the problem type Learning Outcomes: sections at the beginning of each chapter prepare your students for the ideas they will explore.

From Pearson's webinar series 'Changing Perspectives' – read our blog post Activating University Physics: making physics lectures come alive and access the full webinar video. New and updated features in this edition New and expanded problems sections will support your students' problem-solving skills Dr Young's career was centred entirely on undergraduate education. He wrote several undergraduate-level textbooks, and in 1973 he became a co-author with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory textbooks. In addition to his role in Sears and Zemansky's University Physics,he was the author of Sears and Zemansky's College Physics.It's really amazing – I teach a class of about 300 students, and when you have 300 students all actually talking about physics, it's a pretty exciting place to be. So they interact with each other and they share ideas with each other, which is really very impressive.' Pearson's webinar series 'Changing Perspectives': a conversation regarding the benefits of active learning in Physics.

Professor Young's career has centered entirely on undergraduate education. He has written several undergraduate-level textbooks, and in 1973 he 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. Perhaps one the best calculus-based textbook in Physics. Each section explains every topic in great detail. Examples are exhaustive. Perfect for undergraduate students but I don't recommend bringing it around the campus because its really really bulky. New! Key Example Variation Problems within the new Guided Practice sections group problems by type to help you recognise when you can solve them in similar ways, regardless of the wording or numbers Bridging Problems: help students move from single-concept worked examples to multi-concept homework problems. month access Mastering Physics with Pearson eText for University Physics with Modern Physics, Global EditionThe question had three significant figures, so let's make sure our answer does as well. The correct answer is 3280 feet. At UCSB, Dr. Freedman has taught 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, Dr. Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilot's license) or driving with his wife, Caroline, in their 1960 Nash Metropolitan convertible. In the 1970s Dr. Freedman worked as a comic book letterer and helped organise the San Diego Comic-Con (now the world's largest popular culture convention) during its first few years. Today, when not in the classroom or slaving over a computer, Dr Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilot's license) or with his wife, Caroline, cheering on the rowers of UCSB Men's and Women's Crew. In Memoriam: Hugh Young (1930— 2013) Example Variation Problems: based on worked examples in the new Guided Practice section, they build in difficulty by changing scenarios, swapping knowns and unknowns, and adding complexity to provide a wide range of related problems that use the same basic approach to solve.

The Fourteenth Edition improves the defining features of the text while adding new features influenced by education research to teach the skills needed by today’s students. A focus on visual learning, new problem types, and pedagogy informed by MasteringPhysics metadata headline the improvements designed to create the best learning resource for physics students.

The prose style is in a manner that converses with you; an over-the-garden-fence talk not on weather but on the entities around us. Mastering is the flexible teaching and learning platform that engages students through an active and immersive learning experience. By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering Physics personalises the learning experience to help you improve your results.
