College Physics, Fifth Edition, presents a unique “forces first” approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles. That intuitive approach, combined with a consistent problem-solving strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior digital support make Giambattista a product that addresses the needs of TODAY’s students. The 5th edition adds more applications to real-life, more problems, and highlights support for math skills needed for physics.
McGraw-Hill Education's Connect and ALEKS Prep for College Physics are available as optional, add on items.
McGraw-Hill Education's Connect and ALEKS Prep for College Physics are available as optional, add on items.
Review and Synthesis problems appear at the end of every chapter.
Many of the figures and figure legends have been expanded to help students learn more from the illustrations.
Appendix A. a comprehensive math review, has been expanded for this edition.
Concepts and Skills to Review lists, along with Math Skills, are now more prominently featured on the chapter opener page.
ALEKS Math Prep for College Physics is a web-based program that provides targeted coverage of critical mathematics material necessary for student success in College Physics. ALEKS uses artificial intelligence and adaptive questioning to assess precisely a student’s preparedness and deliver personalized instruction on the exact topics the student is most ready to learn. Through comprehensive explanations, practice, and feedback, ALEKS enables students to quickly fill individual knowledge gaps to build a strong foundation of critical math skills. The author contributed to a major revision by selecting learning objectives that align with specific math skills most used in college physics courses.
Biology and medical applications and examples are throughout the text.
The Everyday Physics Demo items, included throughout the text, provide insight into how physics affects daily life.
The “Connections” feature identifies areas in each chapter where important concepts are revisited. A marginal “Connections” heading and summary adjacent to the coverage in the main text help students easily recognize that a previously introduced concept is being applied to the current discussion.
Checkpoint questions are included throughout the text. Answers to the Checkpoints are found at the end of the chapter.
Applications have been clearly identified as such in the text with a full listing in the front matter.
Because of the conceptual framework approach College Physics includes some innovative organization. The authors have integrated kinematics with forces in chapters 2-4.
End-of-Chapter problem sets have been revised and include many new problems.
Non-essential coverage and derivations have been moved to the eBook. Links in the digital text direct students to additional information online.
McGraw-Hill Connect is a digital teaching and learning environment that improves performance over a variety of critical outcomes; it is easy to use; and it is proven effective. In this revision, Connect questions have been rewritten to ensure clarity and reflect greater assessment items.
Available within McGraw-Hill Education’s Connect, SmartBook makes study time as productive and efficient as possible. It identifies and closes knowledge gaps through a continually adapting reading experience that provides personalized learning resources at the precise moment of need. This ensures that every minute spent with SmartBook is returned to the student as the most value-added minute possible. The result? More confidence, better grades, and greater success. SmartBook probes have been revised in this edition to more closely align with the learning outcomes of the text.
