Synopsis

DIGITAL UPDATE available for Fall 2022 cles
For courses in introductory calculus-based physics. Make physics relevant for today's mixed-majors students
College Physics: A Strategic Approach presents basic physics, using real world examples to engage students and connect physics with other fields such as biological sciences and architecture. From these connections, students learn in research-driven ways to understand why they are taking the course and how it applies to other areas.
The 4th Edition expands its focus from how mixed majors students learn physics to focusing on why they learn physics. Problems use real data to show physics at work and to help students see that physics is the science underlying everything around them. Hallmark features of this title Problem-Solving Strategy Overviews show the big picture and state the types of problems a strategy is intended for and how to use it. Tactics Boxes give explicit procedures for developing specific s (drawing -body diagrams, using ray tracing, etc.). Looking Back Pointers provide just-in-time references and encourage students to refer back to relevant material in earlier chapters. Integrated Examples demonstrate problem solving within the context of a multi-concept real-world scenario. Critical Thinking and Reasoning Emphasis gives students essential practice in applying core physical principles to real-world situations. Preface Studying for and Taking the MCAT Exam gives students tips on preparing for the exam with MCAT-Style Page Problems. New and updated features of this title Physics topics connect to other courses that students are likely to take. For example, a new section connects the concept of the conservation of energy to topics from chemistry. Examples use chapter concepts to explore interesting and realistic situations, such as how a study of force and torque in the jaw explains why dogs have long snouts and cats don’t. The STRATEGIZE step in examples shows students the big picture view before delving into the details. Topics of interest to life science students provide current coverage of topics relevant in the Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences community. Exclusive real-world data used in hundreds of new end-of-chapter questions and problems ensure students can make sense of answers grounded in the real world. Chapter Previews focus on the 3 most important ideas and align to specific learning objectives, giving students a chance to build on their knowledge from previous chapters. Learning Objectives a help students check their understanding and optimize study time.

NEW: Dynamic Study Modules (DSM) are specific to the text, pose a series of question sets about a course topic and feature 25 questions per set. NEW: 30 Key Concept Videos address the chapter’s key concepts using applications, techniques and topics related to the real world. NEW: Practice Tests, specific to the text, feature 10 questions per test in the Study Area. Features of Mastering Physics for the 4th Edition; published 2018 Prelecture Videos feature co-author Brian Jones expanding on Chapter Previews as he provides context, examples and opportunities for students to practice the concepts they are studying. What the Physics Videos are short videos that present visually stimulating physical phenomena. Interactive Prelecture Videos introduce key topics to help students prepare before lecture and to help professors identify student misconceptions. Dynamic Figure Videos are 1-minute videos based on figures from the textbook that depict important, but often challenging physics principles. Enhanced End-of-Chapter Questions feature problems based on real-world and biomedical problems that expand the range of reasoning s students use in the solution.
