SPARKING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CONCEPTS The laws of physics affect every facet of our world. The revision of College Physics by Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson incorporates great new pedagogical tools to help students understand that physics is based on a few basic principles, enabling them to draw connections between physics concepts to better understand the world around them. » "Connections" identify areas in each chapter where important concepts are revisited. Marginal "Connections" notes help students easily recognize that a previously introduced concept is being applied to the current discussion. Concepts are being applied; they are not being newly introduced. » Checkpoint questions have been added to applicable sections, ailowing students to quickly test their understanding of the concept within the current section. » The exercises in the Review & Synthesis sections have been revised and expanded.

The revision of College Physics by Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson incorporates great new pedagogical tools to help students understand that physics is based on a few basic principles, enabling them to draw connections between physics concepts to better understand the world around them. » "Connections" identify areas in each chapter where important concepts are revisited. Marginal "Connections" notes help students easily recognize that a previously introduced concept is being applied to the current discussion. Concepts are being applied; they are not being newly introduced. » Checkpoint questions have been added to applicable sections, ailowing students to quickly test their understanding of the concept within the current section. » The exercises in the Review & Synthesis sections have been revised and expanded. With the exercises in the Review & Synthesis sections, students can test their collective understanding of concepts within groups of chapters, which helps them to better prepare for cumulative exams. These sections alsó contain MCAT® Review exercises- actual reading passages and questions written for the MCA7® exam. » Somé of the more detailed coverage and derivations have been moved to the text's website. Thus, students can focus on fundamental, core concepts in the text, and then proceed online where noted for expanded coverage and explanation of topics of interest. Online Homework and Resources McGraw-Hill's College Physics website offers online electronic homework and a myriad of resources for both instructors and students: » Instructors can create homework with easy-to-assign algorithmically generated problems from the text and the simplicity of automatic grading and reporting. • College Physics'end-of-chapter problems and Review & Synthesis exercises appear in the online homework system in diverse formats and with various tools. • The online homework system incorporates new and exciting interactive tools and problem types: ranking problems, a graphing tool, a free-body diagram drawing tool, symbolic entry, and a math palette. » Instructor resources ínclude PowerPoint® lecture outlines, an Instructor's Resource Guide with solutions, suggested demonstrations, electronic images from the text, and clicker questions. Both instructors and students have access to quizzes, interactive simulations, tutorials, selected solutions for the text's problems, and more. » Go to www.mhhe.com/grr to leam more and to registerl f Vissza
