Physics

by John D. Cutnell, Kenneth W. Johnson, David Young

Physics, 12th Edition focuses on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and providing real-world applications and relevance. Conceptual examples, Concepts and Calculations problems, and Check Your Understanding questions help students understand physics principles. Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and Examples with reasoning steps help students improve their reasoning skills while solving problems. “The Physics Of” boxes, and new “Physics in Biology, Sports, and Medicine” problems show students how physics principles are relevant to their everyday lives. A wide array of tools help students navigate through this course, and keep them engaged by encouraging active learning. Animated pre-lecture videos (created and narrated by the authors) explain the basic concepts and learning objectives of each section. Problem-solving strategies are discussed, and common misconceptions and potential pitfalls are addressed. Chalkboard videos demonstrate step-by-step practical solutions to typical homework problems. Finally, tutorials that implement a step-by-step approach are also offered, allowing students to develop their problem-solving skills.

As a student, I thought examples weren't helpful and because the homework problems were far more complicated than the examples. This is my personal least favorite textbook and I really don't recommend it for teachers who can't clearly explain EVERYTHING clearly.

For PHYS 1410 and 1420: General Physics I and II

I did not find the examples in this book to be helpful. Many of the homework problems were much more complicated that anything that I was taught in class. Typical. My edition came with online access so I rarely use the paper version. Almost all of the homework problems have been worked on Yahoo Answers. Thank goodness!!

Excellent introduction to Physics.. Pra-U students sould use this as references.. The examples in this book are really clear and help us to master the basic concept of physics..

When I find a book that makes me understand voltage in all its forms, I will give it 5 stars.
