University Physics with Modern Physics

Product Information

Yet the writing and the splendor makes you wonder otherwise. The illustrations go hand in hand with the lucid explanations. Since its first edition, University Physics has been revered for its emphasis on fundamental principles and how to apply them. This text is known for its clear and thorough narrative, as well as its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful sets of worked examples that provide students with key tools for developing both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Worked example "Key Concept" statements at the end of every example provide a brief summary of the key idea used in the solution to help you develop your conceptual understanding

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) 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. 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.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.

New—Key Concept statements appear at the end of every example, providing a summary of the key idea used in the solution to consolidate what was most important and what can be broadly applied to other problems. The text's rich problem sets-developed and refined over six decades-are upgraded to include larger numbers of problems that are biomedically oriented or require calculus. The problem-set revision is driven by detailed student-performance data gathered nationally through MasteringPhysics®, making it possible to fine-tune the reliability, effectiveness, and difficulty of individual problems.Annotated equations illustrate key equations to help students make the connection between a conceptual and a mathematical understanding of physics. Video Tutor Demonstrations and Video Tutor Solutions tie directly to content in the textbook and can be accessed through Pearson Mastering Physics or from QR codes in the textbook. Teach your course your way: Your course is unique. So, whether you’d like to foster student engagement during class or give students anytime, anywhere access, Mastering gives you the flexibility to easily create your course to fit your needs. Dr. Young earned a bachelor’s degree in organ performance from Carnegie Mellon in 1972 and spent several years as Associate Organist at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Pittsburgh. He often ventured into the wilderness to hike, climb, or go caving with students in Carnegie Mellon's Explorers Club, which he founded as a graduate student and later advised. Dr. Young and his wife, Alice, hosted up to 50 students each year for Thanksgiving dinners in their home. With Learning Catalytics, you’ll hear from every student when it matters most. You pose a variety of questions that help students recall and apply concepts and develop critical-thinking skills. Students respond using their smartphones, tablets, or laptops. You can monitor responses with real-time analytics and find out what your students do—and don’t—understand.

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. 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. Hugh D. Young was an Emeritus Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from that university. He earned his PhD in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky. Dr. Young joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon in 1956 and retired in 2004. He also had two visiting professorships at the University of California, Berkeley.N ew—Key Example Variation Problems build in difficulty by changing scenarios, swapping knowns and unknowns, and adding complexity to provide the most helpful range of related problems that use the same basic approach to find their solutions. Assignable in Pearson Mastering Physics. Of all my years in academia, this one remains unparalleled. The examples taken are highly intuitive and very much relatable.
