Check with the seller prior to purchase. -- Putting physics first Based on his storied research and teaching, Eric Mazur's Principles & Practice of Physics builds an understanding of physics that is both thorough and accessible. Unique organization and pedagogy allow you to develop a true conceptual understanding of physics alongside the quantitative skills needed in the course. New learning architecture: The book is structured to help you learn physics in an organized way that encourages comprehension and reduces distraction. Physics on a contemporary foundation: Traditional texts delay the introduction of ideas that we now see as unifying and foundational. This text builds physics on those unifying foundations, helping you to develop an understanding that is stronger, deeper, and fundamentally simpler. Research-based instruction: This text uses a range of research-based instructional techniques to teach physics in the most effective manner possible. The result is a groundbreaking book that puts physics first, thereby making it more accessible to you to learn. MasteringPhysics (R) works with the text to create a learning program that enables you to learn both in and out of the classroom. This program provides a better teaching and learning experience for you. Here's how: Personalize learning with MasteringPhysics: MasteringPhysics provides you with engaging experiences that coach them through physics with specific wrong-answer feedback, hints, and a wide variety of educationally effective content. Build an integrated, conceptual understanding of physics: Gain a deeper understanding of the unified laws that govern our physical world through the innovative chapter structure and pioneering table of contents. Encourage informed problem solving: The separate Practice Volume empowers you to reason more effectively and better solve problems. 032194920X / 9780321949202 Principles of Physics, Chapters 1-34 (Integrated Component), The, 1/e 0321951069 / 9780321951069 MasteringPhysics with Pearson eText -- ValuePack Access Card -- for Principles & Practice of Physics, 1/e 0321957776 / 9780321957771 Practice of Physics, The, Chapters 1-34 (Integrated Component), 1/e
