• Conceptual Physics 12th Edition Ebook

Description Since defining this course 30 years ago, Paul Hewitt’s best-selling text continues to be the benchmark book that two-thirds of professors use and by which all others are judged. In Conceptual Physics with MasteringPhysics ®, Eleventh Edition Paul Hewitt shows how a compelling text and the most advanced media can be integrated to empower professors as they bring physics to life for non-science majors, both in and out of class.

For the Eleventh Edition, Hewitt helps students connect physics to their everyday experiences and the world around them, and provides additional help on solving mathematical problems. Hewitt’s text is famous for engaging students with analogies and imagery from real-world situations that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics. With this strong foundation, students are better equipped to understand the equations and formulas of physics, and are motivated to explore the thought-provoking exercises and fun projects in each chapter. The new edition features a fresh new design, content that is more focused on physics applications, updated pedagogical features, and access to MasteringPhysics. An extensive full-color figure and photo program includes the author’s hallmark cartoons, which are both approachable and informative. Fun and easy-to-perform projects involve students in the scientific process of exploration and observation.

A wealth of exercises and questions have been refined through use by more than 750,000 students. Problem sets have been expanded and revised in each chapter, including many new numerical problems. Media icons in the text direct the student to targeted activities on The Physics Place website, which provides both deductive and inductive tools for learning physics. The site includes: Interactive Tutorials ™, gradable multiple-choice Quizzes, current web links, Hewitt’s famous mini-lectures and demonstration videos, and much more. Check Yourself and Check Your Answer boxes embedded within the text help students gauge their level of understanding of the material just covered. Practicing Physics boxes allow students to work through a problem or experiment based on the material covered in each chapter. A wide variety of quantitative problems are provided at the end of each chapter.

Insights boxes provide short snippets of information about how topics in the text relate to real-life situations, experiments, and other parts of the book. The Instructor Resource DVD for Conceptual Physics provides the most comprehensive resource available of purpose-built in-class teaching aids, including high-resolution JPEGs of all figure and photos from the book, all of the Interactive Figures and Video Demonstrations, PowerPoint ® Lecture Outlines and Clicker Questions written by the author, plus electronic versions of the Next-Time Questions, Instructor Manual, and Test Bank. Pearson eText, available through MasteringPhysics, offers the entire textbook in an interactive format. Features include hyperlinks to Interactive Figures, Tutorials, and Videos, pop-up vocabulary terms, an annotation tool, and more. MasteringPhysics ® is the most advanced physics homework and tutorial system available. This online homework and tutoring system guides students through the toughest topics in conceptual physics with self-paced tutorial activities that provide individualized coaching. Instructors can also assign End-of-Chapter (EOC) problems from every chapter and quantitative problems can be assigned with numerical answers and randomized values or solutions.

Enhanced coverage of topics in energy and environment are included and help to keep students aware of current events. A new trim size and new interior design provides an attractive, fresh, and accessible new look for the text. New Conceptual Ranking end of chapter exercises help students master important concepts. Multiple-Choice Practice Exams at the end of each part enable the student to assess their grasp of the material they just learned.

Hewitt Former silver-medal boxing champion, sign painter, uranium prospector, and soldier, Paul began college at the age of 27, with the help of the GI Bill. He pioneered the conceptual approach to teaching physics at the City College of San Francisco.

He has taught as a guest teacher at various middle schools and high schools, the University of California at both the Berkeley and Santa Cruz campuses, and the University of Hawaii at both the Manoa and Hilo campuses. He also taught for 20 years at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, which honored him with its Outstanding Educator Award in 2000. He is the author of Conceptual Physics and a co-author of Conceptual Physical Science and Conceptual Physical Science Explorations (with John and Leslie).
