For courses in calculus-based physics. The benchmark for clarity and rigor, influenced by the latest in education research. 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. 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. Also available with MasteringPhysics
MasteringPhysics(R) from Pearson is the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics. Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. The Mastering gradebook records scores for all automatically graded assignments in one place, while diagnostic tools give instructors access to rich data to assess student understanding and misconceptions. Mastering brings learning full circle by continuously adapting to each student and making learning more personal than ever--before, during, and after class.

Customer Reviews

Only got half the book

Ordered the hardcover, got a paperback that started from E&M and went to Modern Physics...no mechanics, chapter 1 - 24 missing, nowhere was it labeled Id get only the second half of the book, unfortunate.

Will make your physics concepts crystal...

I have used this book in my A level (High School). I think its simply fantastic. I has detailed explainations. I don't know how could my friends who are at college level find this book unuseful. But it demands strong mathematics, that very few people have. If you have strong maths, then you are ready to use this book. But if you haven't this book might be the toughest for you.

Best Physics Text Book Written

I used the ninth edition of this book (1995, an older sibling's) to study for the MCAT and found it absolutely invaluable. Virtually every problem in the book is solved, which is exactly what is needed in order to understand a concept. This book is the closest thing I have seen to an unabridged textbook, and will have detailed information on everything from kinemtics to astronaughtics. Every concept is explained in detail, with numerous solved problems and examples. Best textbook I have ever read for any subject.

The perfect book for a general course

I've used both this book and Halliday's Extended 6th edition for my course on Physics. My conclusion, chapter after chapter, has been clear to me: this is the perfect book for a general course on Physics at university level. The language is simple to understand (Halliday too), the figures and tables are well done and useful (Halliday too), the content is thorough (Halliday: not so much !). Yes, this last is the striking thing: it's thorough and reaches a level of detail that is not a common feature for these kind of Physics books. The problems set is well balanced both in content and number (an average of 85-90 for each chapter), and as usual odd-numbered problems' solutions are provided.I've tried this book without anybody advising it to me, now I'm happy I've had it for the exam.
