College Physics by Eugenia Etkina

College Physics by Eugenia Etkina

This loose-leaf, three-hole punched version of the textbook gives students the flexibility to take only what they need to class and add their own notes--all at an affordable price. For courses in introductory algebra-based physics. Help students learn physics by doing physics College Physics: Explore and Apply allows students to build a deep and robust conceptual understanding of physics by encouraging them to take an active role in the learning process. Through this approach, students build a strong conceptual foundation via observation, analysis, and testing that leads to confidence in applying their knowledge to complex situations. The 2nd Edition offers an updated, pedagogically driven design that streamlines the content to help students focus and use the textbook more effectively. As students actively pursue the process of science, they're able to build the foundations for conceptual understanding and develop more sophisticated reasoning and problem-solving skills using features such as redesigned Experiment Tables with new Video Demonstrations and innovative Worked Examples.
Mastering TM Physics and the Pearson eText engage students in active learning and the world of physics. New types of End-of-chapter problems give students the chance to apply what they have learned while the Active Learning Guide (ALG), Instructor Guide, and Ready-to-Go Teaching Modules create a comprehensive learning system that instructors can efficiently adapt to their method of instruction. Also available with Mastering Physics MasteringTM is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools developed to engage students and emulate the office-hour experience, Mastering personalizes learning and often improves results for each student. With Learning CatalyticsTM instructors can expand on key concepts and encourage student engagement during lecture through questions answered individually or in pairs and groups. Mastering Physics now provides students with the new Physics Primer for remediation of math skills needed in the college physics course.

Eugenia Etkina has a PhD in Physics Education from Moscow State Pedagogical University and has more than 30 years experience teaching physics. She currently teaches at Rutgers University, where she received the highest teaching award in 2010 and the New Jersey Distinguished Faculty award in 2012. Professor Etkina designed and now coordinates one of the largest programs in physics teacher preparation in the United States, conducts professional development for high school and university physics instructors, and participates in reforms to the undergraduate physics courses. In 1993 she developed a system in which students learn physics using processes that mirror scientific practice. That system serves as the basis for this textbook. Since 2000, Professors Etkina and Van Heuvelen have conducted over 60 workshops for physics instructors and co-authored The Physics Active Learning Guide (a companion edition to College Physics will be available from Pearson in January, 2013). Professor Etkina is a dedicated teacher and an active researcher who has published over 40 peer-refereed articles.

Michael Gentile is an Instructor of Physics at Rutgers University. He has a masters degree in physics from Rutgers University, where he studied under Eugenia Etkina and Alan Van Heuvelen, and has also completed postgraduate work in education, high energy physics, and cosmology. He has been inspiring undergraduates to learn and enjoy physics for more than 15 years. Since 2006 Professor Gentile has taught and coordinated a large-enrollment introductory physics course at Rutgers where the approach used in this book is fully implemented. He also assists in the mentoring of future physics teachers by using his course as a nurturing environment for their first teaching experiences. Since 2007 his physics course for the New Jersey Governor's School of Engineering and Technology has been highly popular and has brought the wonders of modern physics to more than 100 gifted high school students each summer.

Alan Van Heuvelen holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Colorado. He has been a pioneer in Physics Education Research for several decades. He taught physics for 28 years at New Mexico State University where he developed active learning materials including the Active Learning Problem Sheets (the ALPS Kits) and the ActivPhysics multimedia product. Materials such as these have improved student achievement on standardized qualitative and problem-solving tests. In 1993 he joined Ohio State University to help develop a PER group. He moved to Rutgers University in 2000 and retired in 2008. For his contributions to national physics education reform, he won the 1999 AAPT Millikan Medal and was selected a fellow of the American Physical Society. Over the span of his career he has led over 100 workshops on physics education reform. In the last ten years, he has worked with Professor Etkina in the development of the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE), which integrates the results of physics education research into a learning system that places considerable emphasis in helping students develop science process abilities while learning physics.
