• Raymond A. Serway

  Raymond A. Serway is Professor Emeritus at James Madison University. He earned his doctorate at Illinois Institute of Technology. Among his accolades, he received an honorary doctorate degree from his alma mater, Utica College, the 1990 Madison Scholar Award at James Madison University (where he taught for 17 years), the 1977 Distinguished Teaching Award at Clarkson University and the 1985 Alumni Achievement Award from Utica College. As a Guest Scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, Dr. Serway worked with K. Alex Müller, who shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics. He also was a visiting scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, where he collaborated with his mentor and friend, the late Sam Marshall. In addition to this text, Dr. Serway is the co-author of COLLEGE PHYSICS, Eleventh Edition; PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, Fifth Edition; ESSENTIALS OF COLLEGE PHYSICS; MODERN PHYSICS, Third Edition; and the high school textbook PHYSICS, published by Holt McDougal. He has published more than 40 research papers in the field of condensed matter physics and has given more than 60 presentations at professional meetings.

• Chris Vuille

  Chris Vuille (PhD, University of Florida) is associate professor of physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world's premier institution for aviation higher education. While he has taught courses at all levels, including postgraduate, his primary interest is the teaching of introductory physics courses. He conducts research in general relativity, astrophysics, cosmology, and quantum theory and was a participant in a special three-year NASA grant program where he studied properties of neutron stars. His work has appeared in many scientific journals and in ANALOG SCIENCE FICTION/SCIENCE FACT magazine. He is the coauthor of COLLEGE PHYSICS, Eleventh Edition and ESSENTIALS OF COLLEGE PHYSICS.

• NOW A FULL AP EDITION: This edition features AP support including correlations to the AP course, AP style end-of-chapter questions, and other AP test preparation support

• NOW FULLY SUPPORTED BY MINDTAP®: MindTap® is the digital learning solution that helps teachers engage and transform today’s students into critical thinkers. MindTap breaks down the traditional textbook and delivers the right information you and your students need online. Whether it is bite-sized sections for each topic, relevant information and examples presented within assignments, or the full eBook, you and your students choose when and where to read the text.

• JUST-IN-TIME HOMEWORK HELP: Available in MindTap, These tools offer targeted assistance just when a student needs it. Relevant and customizable tools include; displayed solutions, solution videos for selected problems, and targeted readings and examples from the textbook.

• INTERACTIVE VIDEO VIGNETTES: Available in MindTap, encourage students to address their alternate conceptions outside of the classroom. Include online video analysis and interactive individual tutorials to address learning difficulties identified by PER (Physics Education Research).

• PRE-COURSE ASSESSMENT: Available in MindTap. Offer student diagnostic pre-test and personalized improvement plans consisting of supplementary text, video lectures and practice problems to help student’s foundational math skills.

• REVISION OF TOPIC 4, NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION: This revision introduces the common contact forces early, easing students’ entry into this difficult topic and increasing their success.

• NEW CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS AND NEW AND REVISED PROBLEMS: New conceptual questions have been added, and all questions and problems were carefully reviewed to improve their variety, interest, and value while maintaining their clarity and quality. Hundreds of new problems were added, with less-used problems removed. In all, the Eleventh Edition provides over 2,100 problems.

• WORKED EXAMPLES: A hallmark strength of the text, each worked example is a complete learning experience. The GOAL describes the concepts being explored. The PROBLEM presents the question. The STRATEGY helps students create a framework for working out the solution. The SOLUTION uses a two-column format that provides explanations on the left and mathematical steps on the right; these serve as a training tool. REMARKS highlight underlying concepts follow the solution. The QUESTION requires a conceptual response to test students' understanding, and the EXERCISE reinforces this understanding.

• PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES: These strategies provides students with a structured process for solving problems and helps them identify the essential steps in solving problems and increases their skills as problem solvers.

• CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS: Conceptual questions provide students with a means of self-testing the concepts presented in the topic; some are also appropriate for initiating classroom discussions.

• TUTORIAL PROBLEMS & SHOW ME A VIDEO: Available in MindTap and indicated in the problems set by icons, Tutorials help students solve problems by having them work through a stepped-out solution, while Show Me a Video explains fundamental problem-solving strategies to help students step through selected problems.

• SYMBOLIC PROBLEMS: Student obtain an answer in terms of symbols. Symbolic problems train the student to postpone substitution of values, facilitating their ability to think conceptually using the equations.

• QUANTITATIVE/CONCEPTUAL PROBLEMS: Encourage students to think conceptually about physics problems rather than rely solely on computational skills.

• GUIDED PROBLEMS: Guided Problems break a problem into smaller steps, enabling students to grasp all the concepts and strategies required to arrive at a correct solution.

• APPLICATIONS: Margin notes make the relevance of physics to everyday life more obvious by pointing out examples in the text.
