Fundamentals of Physics
Regular Edition
Engaging students and teaching students to think critically isn’t easy! The new Ninth Edition of Halliday Resnick and Walker (HRW) has been strategically revised to conquer this challenge. Every aspect of this revision is focused on engaging students, supporting critical thinking and moving students to the next level physics understanding.
Key to the ninth edition’s support for critical thinking and development of understanding physics concepts is Jearl Walker’s modern voice. Jearl Walker is both an active teacher, who understands the challenges faced in today’s classroom, and a world renowned communicator of science to the general public. His Flying Circus material is integrated throughout the ninth edition to catch students’ attention, engage them, and encourage them to solve the underlying real world physics phenomenon and concepts, before they begin the more quantitative portion of the content or problem. New features in WileyPLUS are designed to help students read and come more prepared to class and to engage their various learning styles, as well as to help instructors make more efficient use of their class preparation time.
New to This Edition:
-
New WileyPLUS features:
- Graded Reading Comprehension Assignments. Instructors can assign for credit reading comprehension questions that are embedded in the content. Because the assignment and grading of these questions is done automatically by WileyPLUS, no extra instructor or staff time is necessary.
- Significantly expanded multi-media assets. Additional interactive simulations, animations and video mini-lectures have been included to accommodate a variety of learning styles. Through the videos, Jearl teaches students how to read technical content. Extra help material (not in the printed text) is available through hypertext links for those students who need or want it. In addition, callouts throughout the text direct the student to additional resources in WileyPLUS.
- Concept Modules. With WileyPLUS 5.0, chapters are broken down into more manageable pieces.
- Redesigned key illustrations. The author has re-designed a number of the key figures in the new edition to provide a more inviting and informative treatment to help beginning students get a better grasp of key concepts. These figures are not overly complex and don t assume an unrealistic level of sophistication on the students part. The figures are broken into component parts with supporting commentary so that the students can more readily see the key ideas. In addition, animated versions of the figures with audio commentary are now included in the multimedia version of the text which is accessed through WileyPLUS.
Student Solutions Manual
Written by Sen-Ben Liao of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, this manual provides students with complete, worked-out solutions to 30% of the end-of-chapter problems. The solutions are written using the “TEAL” approach, which stands for “Think, Express, Analyze, and Learn”. This learning strategy was originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has proven to be an effective learning tool for students. These problems are indicated in the text with an SSM icon.
Student Study Guide
Written by Thomas Barrett of The Ohio State University, The Student Study Guide consists of an overview of the important chapter concepts, hints for solving end-of-chapter questions/problems, and practice quizzes.
