About this product

Product Information

Thoughtfullyrevisedlayout: Keeps important derivations and arguments on facing pages, so that students don't have to turn back and forth. Throughout, readers experience an important slice of physics clearly and easily. New "Chapter Opening Questions" (COQs): Multiple-choice, conceptual questions added at the beginning of each chapter that immediately engage students with key chapter concepts and explore common misconceptions. Ask students to revisit the COQs later in the Chapter, as an Exercise, to see if their answers have changed. Answers are given at the end of the Chapter. New "Approach" steps added to Worked Examples: Help students understand the reasoning behind the method used to solve the problem and answer their questions of "how/where do I start?" New "Note" Sections in worked Examples: Remark on the solution itself, mention an application, or give an alternate approach to solving the problem. Added to many worked Examples after the Solution. Estimation Examples: Help students develop skills for making order-of-magnitude estimates, even when data is scarce, or when they might never have guessed any result was possible. New Exercises throughout: Give students a chance to check their understanding through practice before they proceed to other topics. Answers are given at the end of the chapter. New "Caution" marginal notes: Warn students of common mistakes/misconceptions about the topic at hand. Updated Vector Notation: Now uses arrows & carets over bold face letters to denote a vector, in text and in art. Provides consistency with the way students write them in homework and the way professors write them on the board. New, optional Computer/Numerical Problems at the end of most chapters: Require a numerical solution, with a computer, spreadsheet, or programmable calculator needed to do the sums. Are often level III Problems.
