Abstract:
"Renowned for its interactive focus on conceptual understanding, Halliday and Resnick's Principles of Physics, 12th edition, is an industry-leading resource in physics teaching with expansive, insightful, and accessible treatments of a wide variety of subjects. Focusing on several contemporary areas of research and a wide array of tools that support students' active learning, this book guides students through the process of learning how to effectively read scientific material, identify fundamental concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve quantitative problems. This International Adaptation of the twelfth edition is built to be a learning center with practice opportunities, simulations, and videos. Numerous practice and assessment questions are available to ensure that students understand the problem-solving processes behind key concepts and understand their mistakes while working through problems."-- Page 4 of cover.
