Richard Wolfson's Essential University Physics, Second Edition is a concise and progressive calculus-based physics textbook that offers clear writing, great problems, and relevant real-life applications. This text is a compelling and affordable alternative for professors who want to focus on the fundamentals and bring physics to life for their students.
Essential University Physics focuses on the fundamentals of physics, teaches sound problem-solving skills, emphasizes conceptual understanding, and makes connections to the real world. The presentation is concise without sacrificing a solid introduction to calculus-based physics. New pedagogical elements have been introduced that incorporate proven results from physics education research. Features such as annotated figures and step-by-step problem-solving strategies help students master concepts and solve problems with confidence.
The Second Edition features dramatically revised and updated end-of-chapter problem sets, significant content updates, new Conceptual Examples, and additional Applications, all of which serve to foster student understanding and interest.
Essential University Physics is offered as two paperback volumes, available shrink-wrapped together, or for sale individually.
Used by over a million science students, the Mastering platform is the most effective and widely used online tutorial, homework, and assessment system for the sciences.
For Students:
MasteringPhysics tutorials guide students through the toughest topics in physics with self-paced tutorials that provide individualized coaching.
Helps students make connections to the real world using interactive research-based simulations from the PhET Group at University of Colorado - Boulder.
Offers a comprehensive library of tried and tested ActivePhysics applets is designed to encourage students to confront misconceptions, reason qualitatively, experiment quantitatively, and learn to think critically.
For Lecturers:
Identify how your students are doing before the first exam: the color-coded gradebook instantly identifies students in trouble and challenging topics for your class as a whole.
Richard Wolfson has been professor of physics at Middlebury College for more than twenty-five years. In addition to his textbooks, Essential University Physics, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, and Energy, Environment, and Climate,he has written two science books for general audiences: Nuclear Choices: A Citizen's Guide to Nuclear Technology and Simply Einstein: Relativity Demystified. His video courses for the Teaching Company include Physics in Your Life, Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists, and How the Universe Works: Understanding Physics, from Quark to Galaxy.
