University Physics with Modern Physics, Global Edition

Product Information

Key Concept statements: appear at the end of every example, providing a summary of the key idea used in the solution

Expanded - Cumulative problems promote more advanced problem-solving techniques, challenging the students to combine knowledge and skills covered in previous chapters with the current one. Expanded - Caution paragraphs focus on typical misconceptions and student problem areas. Over a dozen more have been added based on common errors made in Pearson Mastering Physics. The sample problems are exhaustive, take you through the concept and the open up your mind to enlightenment. Rare are the set of chapters on Quantum Physics that are delineated to the perfection of a goldsmith. Dr. Young’s career was centered entirely on undergraduate education. He wrote several undergraduate-level textbooks, and in 1973 he became a coauthor with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory textbooks. In addition to his role on Sears and Zemansky’s University Physics, he was the author of Sears and Zemansky’s College Physics.

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. University Physics with Modern Physics, 15th edition, now in SI Units, is known for its clear and accessible approach to physics. With its step-by-step guidance and variety of problem types, the textbook will help you solve the most complex problems in physics.
