Summary:
This best-selling, calculus-based text is recognized for its carefully crafted, logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics. Raymond Serway, Robert Beichner, and contributing author John W. Jewett present a strong problem-solving approach that is further enhanced through increased realism in worked examples. Problem-solving strategies and hints allow students to develop a systematic approach to completing homework problems. The outstanding ancillary package includes full multimedia support, online homework, and a content-rich Web site that provides extensive support for instructors and students. The CAPA (Computer-assisted Personalized Approach), WebAssign, and University of Texas homework delivery systems give instructors flexibility in assigning online homework.

Features
Realistic worked examples are followed by exercises with answers to promote interactivity and to reinforce the students' understanding of problem-solving techniques.
Conceptual examples with detailed reasoning statements help students learn how to think through physical situations rather than simply plugging numbers into formulas.
Problem sets are keyed to specific sections of the chapter and are identified by level of difficulty. Some end-of-chapter numerical problems are paired with the same problems in symbolic form. Many chapters include review problems that require the student to link concepts in the current chapter with those in previous chapters. Most chapters include one or more problems whose solution requires the use of a computer or graphing calculator.
Marginal notes highlight important statements and equations, and provide useful Web sites for further enrichment. Marginal icons direct students to the Core Concepts CD-ROM or point out Interactive Physics simulations available on the Student Tools CD-ROM, which is packaged free with most versions of the text.
Annotated Instructor's Edition contains tips and comments to instructors in blue marginal Instructor's Notes. Many of these notes describe common student misconceptions or explain the rationale for QuickLabs and Quick Quizzes.
QuickLabs encourage students to perform simple experiments and observations on their own using commonly available materials, actively engaging them in the learning process.
Quick Quizzes within each chapter test the students understanding of physical concepts just presented. Many questions are written in a multiple-choice format and require students to make decisions and defend those decisions on the basis of sound physical reasoning.
Puzzlers at the beginning of each chapter include provocative photographs and questions that stimulate student curiosity.
Chapter outlines list major headings and give students and instructors a preview of the chapter content.
