product title: Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics, Global Edition, 5th Edition

For courses in introductory calculus-based physics.

Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics incorporates Physics Education Research and cognitive science best practices that encourage conceptual development, problem-solving skill acquisition, and visualisation. Knight stresses qualitative reasoning through physics principles before formalising physics mathematically, developing student problem-solving skills with a systematic, scaffolded approach. The text presents a finely tuned, practical introduction to physics with problems that relate physics to everyday life and includes models, modeling, and advanced topics.

New to this edition

• 4-step problem-solving approach shifts to Model/Visualise/Solve/Review, using a final step of 'Review' rather than 'Assess' to better reflect the content of the final step. This approach provides a framework throughout the book, using the 4-step framework with detailed problem-solving strategies for different topics and types of problems. Tactics Boxes give step-by-step procedures for developing specific skills (drawing free-body diagrams, using ray tracing, etc.).
• Worked examples follow the 4-step strategy and include careful explanations of the underlying, and often unstated, reasoning with new examples that show how things work to relate physics to everyday life.
• Enhanced Chapter Previews address the questions students are most likely to ask themselves while studying the material for the first time. Questions cover the important ideas, and provide a big-picture overview of the chapter's key principles.
