With its time-tested problems, pioneering conceptual and visual pedagogy, and next-generation media package, the Eleventh Edition of Young and FreedmanUs University Physics is the classic physics book with an eye on the future. With Mastering ®, you can use your experiences to combine interactive resources and real-world examples, helping students master challenging material, and gain the confidence they need to succeed — both in and out of the classroom.

Today, when not in the classroom or slaving over a computer, Dr Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilot's license) or with his wife, Caroline, cheering on the rowers of UCSB Men's and Women's Crew. With its step-by-step guidance and variety of problem types, the textbook will help you solve the most complex problems in physics. University Physics with Modern Physics, 15th edition, now in SI Units, is known for its clear and accessible approach to physics. It offers extensive discussions on every subject but sometimes that discussion does not delve into subtle matters, but I think that this is expected from an introductory book. If Mastering is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please check with your instructor for the correct ISBN.If we reduce the answer to the number of significant figures in the question (there are 3 sig figs in 1. I love how accessible the authors make physics because I had no background knowledge and learned a lot. New Key Concept statements at the end of worked examples address this challenge by identifying the main idea used in the solution to help you recognize the underlying concepts and strategy for the given problem. If you cross out every unit that appears on both the top and bottom of the formula, you are left with units of kilometers, which is exactly what you want. Mastering is the flexible teaching and learning platform that engages students through an active and immersive learning experience.

Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilot's license) or driving with his wife, Caroline, in their 1960 Nash Metropolitan convertible.Since its first edition, University Physics has been revered for its emphasis on fundamental principles and how to apply them.

When you purchase a Channels subscription it will last 1 month, 3 months or 12 months, depending on the plan you chose. It's really amazing – I teach a class of about 300 students, and when you have 300 students all actually talking about physics, it's a pretty exciting place to be. Young expressed his appreciation earnestly: “I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my colleagues at Carnegie Mellon, especially Professors Robert Kraemer, Bruce Sherwood, Ruth Chabay, Helmut Vogel, and Brian Quinn, for many stimulating discussions about physics pedagogy and for their support and encouragement during the writing of several successive editions of this book. The prose style is in a manner that converses with you; an over-the-garden-fence talk not on weather but on the entities around us. Remember to cross out every unit that appears in the top and bottom of the formula, leaving you with units of feet.Bridging Problems: help students move from single-concept worked examples to multi-concept homework problems.
