About this book
The sixth edition offers a completely integrated text and media solution that will enable students to learn more effectively and professors to teach more efficiently. The text includes a new strategic problem-solving approach, an integrated Maths Tutorial, and new tools to improve conceptual understanding. It is available in these versions: "Volume 1 Mechanics/Oscillations and Waves/Thermodynamics" (Chapters 1-20), "Volume 2 Electricity and Magnetism/Light" (Chapters 21-33), "Volume 3 Elementary Modern Physics" (Chapters 34-41), "Standard Version" (Chapters 1-33), and "Extended Version" (Chapters 1-41).
