Physics, 12th Edition focuses on conceptual understanding, problem
solving, and providing real-world applications and relevance. Conceptual
examples, Concepts and Calculations problems, and Check Your
Understanding questions help students understand physics principles.
Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and Examples with reasoning
steps help students improve their reasoning skills while solving
problems. "The Physics Of" boxes, and new "Physics in Biology, Sports,
and Medicine" problems show students how physics principles are relevant
to their everyday lives.
A wide array of tools help students navigate through this course, and
keep them engaged by encouraging active learning. Animated pre-lecture
videos (created and narrated by the authors) explain the basic concepts
and learning objectives of each section. Problem-solving strategies are
discussed, and common misconceptions and potential pitfalls are
addressed. Chalkboard videos demonstrate step-by-step practical
solutions to typical homework problems. Finally, tutorials that
implement a step-by-step approach are also offered, allowing students to
develop their problem-solving skills.
