Synopsis

While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories--theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, combines a logical presentation of the physical concepts with a consistent problem-solving strategy that results in true understanding for the student. The new edition features learning objectives for every section of the text, new Warm-Up Exercises to review mathematical and physical concepts that are prerequisites for a given chapter's problems set, and a general preview of the new physics concepts covered, as well as new online tutorials to assist students in understanding how to apply certain key concepts presented in a given chapter. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, the text's exclusive test prep and review tools help them prepare. The new edition is also supported by innovative technologies to enhance your teaching experience and your students' learning. - See more at: http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=9781285737027||30318435711654628441026048891470602949&N=16&Ntk=APG%7C%7CP_EPI&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial#Overview
