| Publisher Description: College Physics, Fifth Edition, presents a unique "forces first" approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles. That intuitive approach, combined with a consistent problem-solving strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior digital support make Giambattista a product that addresses the needs of TODAY's students. Specifically, this revision adds more applications to real-life, more problems, rewritten concepts to enhance and clarify material, and highlights support for math skills needed for physics. McGraw-Hill Education's Connect and ALEKS Prep for College Physics, is also available as optional, add on items. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty. |
Contributor Bio(s): Giambattista, Alan: - Alan Giambattista hails from northern New Jersey. His teaching career got an early start when his fourth-grade teacher, Anne Berry, handed the class over to him to teach a few lessons about atoms and molecules. At Brigham Young University, he studied piano performance and physics. After graduate work at Cornell University, he joined the physics faculty and has taught introductory physics there for nearly three decades. Alan still appears in concert regularly as a pianist and harpsichordist. When the long upstate New York winter is finally over, he is eager to get out on Cayuga Lake's waves of blue for Sunday sailboat races. Alan met his wife Marion in a singing group and they have been making beautiful music together ever since. They live in an 1824 parsonage built for an abolitionist minister, which is now surrounded by an organic dairy farm. Besides taking care of the house, cats, and gardens, they love to travel together, especially to Italy. They also love to spoil their adorable grandchildren, Ivy and Leo. |
