1. College Physics by Jerry D. Wilson, Anthony J.
Buffa, Hardcover: 1040 pages, Prentice Hall
This reader-friendly book presents the fundamental
principles of physics in a clear and concise manner.
Emphasizing conceptual understanding as the basis for
mastering a variety of problem-solving tools, it
provides a wide range of relevant applications and
illustrative examples. This book discusses mechanics,
thermodynamics, oscillations and wave motion,
electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics.
For anyone wishing to learn more about the fundamentals
of physics and how physical principles apply to a
variety of real-world situations, devices, and topics.
2. Contemporary College Physics, Third Edition, 2001
Update w/ updated CD-ROM by Edwin R Jones, Richard L.
Childers, Hardcover, McGraw-Hill
Science/Engineering/Math
This edition adds new biomedical applications and
improved technology to the copyright 1999 third edition.
Since all exercises from the 1999 edition are retained,
the 1999 print supplements will work for the 2001
Update. Jones/Childers 3/e features a strong emphasis on
problem solving and a tutorial CD-ROM with multimedia
and practice quizzes; the 2001 updates adds more
biomedical applications and improves the CD and Website.
3. Schaum's Outline of College Physics by Frederick
J. Bueche, Eugene Hecht, Paperback: 416 pages,
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
More than 500,000 students have purchased previous
editions of this book! That's because this powerful
study tool offers clear explanations and constant
reinforcements, so that students quickly grasp this
potentially difficult subject matter. It takes students
from vectors to thermodynamics to applied nuclear
physics, teaching effective problem-solving skills. The
numerous, valuable appendixes make often-needed, basic
information easy to find quickly, so this book is also
an excellent reference. The new edition of this
best-selling book gives users a solid grasp of the
principles of general physics through their application
to a large number of carefully selected problems. The
Ninth Edition features a new order of presentation that
reflects the current physics curriculum and textbooks.
Existing problems have been updated, and new problems
have been added that deal with more realistic and
practical situations, including those in the life
sciences.
4. Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern
Physics: A Strategic Approach by Randall D. Knight,
Hardcover: 1596 pages, Publisher: Addison Wesley
Built from the ground up on our new understanding of how
students learn physics, Randall Knight's introductory
university physics textbook leads readers to a deeper
understanding of the concepts and more proficient
problem-solving skills. This authoritative text provides
effective learning strategies and in-depth instruction
to better guide readers around the misconceptions and
preconceptions they often bring to the course. The
superior problem-solving pedagogy of this book uses a
detailed, methodical approach that sequentially builds
skills and confidence for tackling more complex
problems. Knight combines rigorous quantitative coverage
with a descriptive, inductive approach that leads to a
deeper student understanding of the core concepts.
Pictorial, graphical, algebraic, and descriptive
representations for each concept are skillfully combined
to provide a resource that students with different
learning styles can readily grasp. A comprehensive,
integrated approach introducing key topics of physics,
including Newton's Laws, Conservation Laws, Newtonian
Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Wave and Optics, Electricity
and Magnetism, and Modern Physics. For college
instructors, students, or anyone with an interest in
physics.

Principles of Physics (with PhysicsNow and InfoTrac) by
Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett, Hardcover: 1320
pages, Publisher: Brooks Cole
This third edition contains many new pedagogical
features-most notably, a contextual approach to enhance
motivation, an increased emphasis on avoiding
misconceptions through the inclusion of Pitfall
Preventions, and a problem-solving strategy that uses a
modelling approach.
6. Physics: Principles with Applications (5th
Edition) by Douglas C. Giancoli, Hardcover: 1096 pages,
Publisher: Prentice Hall
This best-selling algebra-based physics book has been
widely known for its carefully crafted exposition,
strong biological applications, and high degree of
accuracy and precision. The Fifth Edition maintains
these strengths and brings a conceptual emphasis and
real-world flavor to the examples, problems, and art
program. In addition, the new edition features an
unparalleled suite of media and on-line resources to
enhance the physics classroom. For readers with an
algebra-based physics background.
