Finally, an interactive website based on activities you do every day!

Homework Management:

• An Assignment tool allows instructors to create student homework and quizzes, using dynamic versions of end-of-chapter problems from Fundamentals of Physics of their own dynamic questions. Instructors may also assign readings, activities, and other work for students to complete.
• A Gradebook automatically grades and records student assignments. This not only saves time, but also provides students with immediate feedback on their work. Each student can view his or her results from past assignments at any time.
• An Administration tool allows instructors to manage their class rosters on-line.

A Prepare and Present tool contains a variety of the Wiley-provided resources (Including all the book illustrations, Java applets, and digitized video) to help make preparation time more efficient. This content may easily be adapted, customized, and supplemented by instructors to meet the needs of each course.

Self-Assessment. A study and Practice area links directly to the multimedia version of Fundamentals of Physics , allowing students to review the text while they study and complete homework assignments. In addition to the complete on-line text, students can also access the Student Solutions Manual, the Student Study Guide, interactive simulations, and the Interaction LearningWare Program.

Interactive LearningWare. Interactive LearningWare leads the students step-by-step through solutions to 200 of the end-of-chapter problems from the text.

And there’s lost more! You’ll need to see it to believe it.

Customer Reviews

seriously
This book is supposed to be the defacto physics book, but seriously... albeit I have never found a better, this book is horrible, the chapters and example problems are teases compared to what the problems at the end of the chapters are... the author tries to be cute with them too... I have not looked at this book in years, I recently ordered another because mine was destroyed, but there was a problem that went something like this, A hoodlum throws a rock off the top of a building with initial velocity of ___, the building is ____ high... I mean common that is just annoying, not to mention stereotyping... I will never forget it though, which might have been the point... its still annoying.
I found that you need one of three things to pass classes based on this book, I really good tutor, access to the answers to the chapter problems, or a good dose of being a genius. Fortunately there is a website you can join that will give you a lot of the answers, but you have to watch them, there are mistakes, and there some 'non-typical' methods used, but the site is [...], it is a life saver for more than just physics too, at least it was for me, I did not have time to get stuck on problems when I was in school, and I would assume you do not either, I would definitely check out that site if I were you... and make sure you know trig, obscure trig identities (2cossin = sin2 is an important one for projectiles and centripetal motion, the book just assumes you will know when to use these... or maybe they are just hatefull), as well as what is going on with tangents when you take derivatives, and areas when you take integrals... else you are going to be using this book to beat your self over the head!
Good Luck to all of you.

It's a textbook...
...but it's not a bad one. You should know, however, that many physics classes also require access to online homework and materials through WileyPlus; purchasing that access is $65 per book. Just another way for the textbook companies to screw the students.

It's not really as if you're going to have a choice as to which physics text you buy, and you should probably be looking for the 8th edition, but this book is pretty good.
