Synopsis

Intended for algebra-based introductory physics courses.

Built from the ground up for optimal learning; refined to help students focus on the big picture
College Physics: A Strategic Approach Technology Update applies the best results from educational research, extensive user feedback and metadata to all design and content, helping more students understand the big picture, gain crucial problem-solving skills and confidence, and better prepare for class.

 

College Physics: A Strategic Approach Technology Update, Third Editionis accompanied by a significantly more robust MasteringPhysics before, during, and after class. NewDynamic Study Modules focused on fundamental math and physics concepts help students better prepare before class while newPrelecture Videos address common misconceptions students have when learning physics for the first time while reinforcing class preparation.

Now, more than 200 new QR codes appear throughout the textbook, enabling students to use their smartphone or tablet to instantly watch interactive videos about relevant demonstrations, newDynamic Figure Videos, problem solving strategies, and solutions explained by the authors. NewlyEnhanced End-of-Chapter Questions offer students instructional support right when they need it, including wrong-answer specific feedback, links to the eText, and math remediation when completing homework assignments.

About this title

About the Author

Randy Knight has taught introductory physics for 25 years at Ohio State University and California Polytechnic University, where he is currently Professor of Physics and Director of the Minor in Environmental Studies. Randy received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics before joining the faculty at Ohio State University. It was at Ohio State, under the mentorship of Professor Leonard Jossem, that he began to learn about the research in physics education that, many years later, led to Five Easy Lessons: Strategies for Successful Physics Teaching and this book. Randy's research interests are in the field of lasers and spectroscopy. When he's not in the classroom or in front of a computer, you can find Randy hiking, sea kayaking, playing the piano, or spending time with his wife Sally and their seven cats.
