Putting physics first

Based on his storied research and teaching, Eric Mazur's Principles & Practice of Physics builds an understanding of physics that is both thorough and accessible. Unique organization and pedagogy allow students to develop a true conceptual understanding of physics alongside the quantitative skills needed in the course.

• New learning architecture: The book is structured to help students learn physics in an organized way that encourages comprehension and reduces distraction.
• Physics on a contemporary foundation: Traditional texts delay the introduction of ideas that we now see as unifying and foundational.
• This text builds physics on those unifying foundations, helping students to develop an understanding that is stronger, deeper, and fundamentally simpler.
• Research-based instruction: This text uses a range of research-based instructional techniques to teach physics in the most effective manner possible.

The result is a groundbreaking book that puts physics first, thereby making it more accessible to students and easier for instructors to teach. MasteringPhysics works with the text to create a learning program that enables students to learn both in and out of the classroom.?

This program provides a better teaching and learning experience for you and your students. Here's how: - Build an integrated, conceptual understanding of physics: Help students gain a deeper understanding of the unified laws that govern our physical world through the innovative chapter structure and pioneering table of contents.

• Encourage informed problem solving: The separate Practice Volume empowers students to reason more effectively and better solve problems.
• Personalize learni...
