Become an expert problem-solver in physics with one of the best-sellers in the discipline.

For courses in calculus-based physics.

University Physics with Modern Physics, 15th edition, now in SI Units, continues to follow its well-known method of offering step-by-step guidance that will help you gradually solve the most complex problems in physics.

Known for its clear and accessible approach to physics, this edition draws on insights from several users to help you see patterns and make connections between problem types.

With the help of features such as the Key Concept statements and the Key Example Variation Problems, you will learn to look beyond the objects of the problem and recognise the underlying principle rather than simply plugging values into an equation.
