University Physics, Volume 1 (Chapters 1-20), Global Edition, 15th edition

For courses in calculus-based physics

Volume 1 contains chapters 1-20

Practice makes perfect. The 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics draws on a wealth of data insights from hundreds of faculty and thousands of student users to address one of the biggest challenges for students in introductory physics courses: seeing patterns and making connections between problem types. Students learn to recognise when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging in an equation.

This edition addresses students' tendency to focus on the objects, situations, numbers, and questions posed in a problem, rather than recognising the underlying principle or the problem's type.
