Develop your understanding of how to use similar steps in your problem-solving approaches
For courses in calculus-based physics.
University Physics with Modern Physics, 15th edition, now in SI Units, is known for its clear and accessible approach to physics. With its step-by-step guidance and variety of problem types, the textbook will help you solve the most complex problems in physics.
This edition draws on insights from several users to help you see patterns and make connections between problem types rather than simply plugging values into an equation.
Key features include:
- Key Concept statements to help you learn to look beyond the objects of the problem and recognise the underlying principle or the problem type
- New! Key Example Variation Problems within the new Guided Practice sections group problems by type to help you recognise when you can solve them in similar ways, regardless of the wording or numbers
- Worked example "Key Concept" statements at the end of every example provide a brief summary of the key idea used in the solution to help you develop your conceptual understanding
- Enhanced End-of-Chapter problem sets help you reinforce problem-solving skills

Guided practice helps students develop into expert problem solvers
The new 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics, now in SI Units, draws on insights from several users to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types. Students learn to recognize when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging values into an equation.
This edition addresses students' tendency to focus on the objects and situations posed in a problem, rather than recognizing the underlying principle or the problem type. New Key Concept statements identify the main idea used in examples to help students recognize the underlying concepts and strategy. New Key Example Variation Problems within new Guided Practice sections group problems by type so students recognize when problems can be solved in similar ways, regardless of wording or numbers.
Pearson Mastering Physics is not included. Students, if Pearson Mastering Physics is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN.
