Sears and Zemansky's College Physics has provided the most reliable foundation of physics education around the world for more than 5 decades.

With the 11th Edition, author Phil Adams incorporates data from thousands of students detailing their use of worked examples and just-in-time remediation. New Example Variation Problems help you to see patterns, make connections and recognize when to use similar steps to solve the same problem type. Expanded problem types and scaffolded support help build conceptual understanding, quantitative-reasoning skills and problem-solving confidence or better exam performance.
