Author Eric Mazur's Principles and Practice of Physics combines unique pedagogy and peer-to-peer instruction techniques that align with physics education research (PER). This approach helps you develop a true conceptual understanding of physics with the needed quantitative skills. The 1st half of a chapter teaches ideas using words and images, and the 2nd half casts ideas into quantitative and symbolic form.

The 2nd Edition integrates features from the Practice volume into the Principles volume. New prelecture material better prepares you to come to class ready to participate
