University Physics with Modern Physics addresses the challenge of seeing connections between worked examples in the textbook and problems on homework and exams. Written to help you see the big picture of what each worked example is trying to illustrate, the text enables you to practice using sets of related problems that help identify repeating patterns and strategies. Like your professor, the authors want you to learn physics and to enjoy the experience. They also want you to succeed in your course.

The 15th Edition provides multiple new features and resources that provide problem-solving practice and address the tendency to focus on the details posed in a problem, rather than recognizing the underlying principle or the problem's type.
