Fundamentals of Physics, Extended [Loose-leaf]

Fundamentals of Physics, 12th Edition guides students through the process of learning how to effectively read scientific material, identify fundamental concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve quantitative problems.

The 12th edition includes a renewed focus on several contemporary areas of research to help challenge students to recognize how scientific and engineering applications are fundamental to the worlds clockwork.

A wide array of tools will support students active learning as they work through and engage in this course. Fundamentals of Physics, 12e is built to be a learning center with practice opportunities, interactive challenges, activities, simulations, and videos. Practice and assessment questions are available with immediate feedback and detailed solutions, to ensure that students understand the problem-solving processes behind key concepts and understand their mistakes while working through problems.
