This best-selling and enjoyable text defined the "conceptual" approach to introductory physics 30 years ago. Today, the new edition shows how text and media can be integrated to bring physics to life for non-science majors. Hewitt's text engages students with analogies and mental imagery from real-world situations to build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles, from classical mechanics to modern physics. With this strong foundation, students are better equipped to understand the equations and formulas of physics, and motivated to tackle the thought-provoking exercises and fun projects in each chapter. Icons in the new edition direct students to The Physics Place web site where they will find interactive and animated tutorials, video demonstrations, and hundreds of exercises and activities. The new text-media combination gives students more of what they need-be it animated explanations or interactive exercises-to make the connections between physics and their everyday world. This Value Pack includes student access to a dynamic Online Course, specially created to facilitate active learning.
Perfect for instructors wanting to deliver more of their course content via the Web, enrich their students' learning experiences using cutting-edge technology, and/or reach more students via distance learning.
