Sears and Zemansky's University Physics with Modern Physics (Fifteenth Edition In Si Units)

Artikelnummer 10125922

University Physics has been revered for its emphasis on fundamental principles and its applications since its first edition. The new 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics, now in SI Units, draws on insights from several users to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types. Students learn to recognize when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging values into an equation. This edition addresses students' tendency to focus on the objects and situations posed in a problem, rather than recognizing the underlying principle or the problem type. NEW FEATURES New—Key Example Variation Problems in the new Guided Practice section based on worked examples, build in difficulty by changing scenarios, swapping knowns and unknowns, and adding complexity to provide a wide range of related problems that use the same basic approach to solve. New—Key Concept statements appear at the end of every example, providing a summary of the key idea used in the solution to consolidate what was most important and what can be broadly applied to other problems. A research-based Problem-Solving Approach—Identify, Set Up, Execute, Evaluate—used in every example to teach students to tackle problems thoughtfully rather than cutting straight to the math. Expanded—Challenge Problems significantly stretch students by requiring sophisticated reasoning, often involving multiple steps or concepts. Expanded—Cumulative Problems promote advanced problem-solving techniques by covering knowledge and skills from previous chapters to be integrated with understanding from the current chapter.
