College physics (2nd ed)

Building on the research-proven instructional techniques introduced in Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers, the most widely adopted new physics book in more than 30 years, College Physics: A Strategic Approach set a new standard for algebra-based introductory physics-gaining widespread critical acclaim from professors and readers alike. For the Second Edition, Randy Knight, Brian Jones, and Stuart Field continue to apply the best results from educational research, and refine and tailor them for this course and the particular needs of its readers.

New pedagogical features (Chapter Previews, Integrated Examples, and Part Summary problems) and fine-tuned and streamlined content take the hallmarks of the First Edition-exceptionally effective conceptual explanation and problem-solving instruction-to a new level.

More than any other book, College Physics leads readers to 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. College Physics, Second Edition is accompanied by MasteringPhysics (TM)-the most advanced, educationally effective, and widely used online physics tutorial and homework system in the world. 0321595483 / 9780321595485 College Physics: Strategic Approach with MasteringPhysics Package consists of: 0321595491 / 9780321595492 College Physics: A Strategic Approach 0321596323 / 9780321596321 Student Workbook for College Physics: A Strategic Approach Volume 1 (Chs. 1-16) 0321596331 / 9780321596338 Student Workbook for College Physics: A Strategic Approach Volume 2 (Chs. 17-30) 0321686012 / 9780321686015 MasteringPhysics (TM) with Pearson eText Student Access Kit for College Physics: A Strategic Approach (ME component
