Develop your understanding of how to use similar steps in your problem-solving approaches For courses in calculus-based physics. 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. This edition draws on insights from several users to help you see patterns and make connections between problem types rather than simply plugging values into an equation. Key features include: Key Concept statements to help you learn to look beyond the objects of the problem and recognise the underlying principle or the problem type New! Key Example Variation Problems within the new Guided Practice sections group problems by type to help you recognise when you can solve them in similar ways, regardless of the wording or numbers Worked example Key Concept statements at the end of every example provide a brief summary of the key idea used in the solution to help you develop your conceptual understanding Enhanced End-of-Chapter problem sets help you reinforce problem-solving skills Pair this text with MasteringPhysics Mastering is the flexible teaching and learning platform that engages students through an active and immersive learning experience.
