Bauer & Westfall’s University Physics with Modern Physics,second edition, teaches students the fundamentals of physics through interesting, timely examples, a logical and consistent approach to problem solving, and an outstanding suite of online tools and exercises. Bauer & Westfall, University Physics with Modern Physics, second edition, weaves exciting, contemporary physics throughout the text with coverage of the most recent research by the authors and others in areas such as energy, medicine, and the environment. These contemporary topics are explained in a way that your students will find real, interesting, and motivating.

Bauer & Westfall’s University Physics with Modern Physics, second edition, includes the power of McGraw-Hill’s LearnSmart--a proven adaptive learning program that helps students learn faster, study more efficiently, and retain more knowledge for greater success. LearnSmart is included in ConnectPlus powered by Maple which features more than 2,500 automatically-graded exercises delivered in an easy-to-use, accurate, and reliable system. Also included is an interactive e-book which allows the student easy access to the explanations they need.

Bauer & Westfall’s University Physics with Modern Physics is designed for the calculus-based introductory physics course and is well suited for students in Physics, Engineering, and the Life and Physical Sciences. The text acknowledges the latest advances in physics education with a traditional table of contents.

LearnSmart is an intelligent, adaptive system has been shown to improve, on the average, a students performance by a full letter grade. LearnSmart has been developed with a team of highly-regarded physics instructors familiar with the latest in physics education research to give the students a tremendous advantage in learning university physics. LearnSmart will help your student succeed by helping pinpoint areas that may need improvement. Assigned by you, or used by students as a study tool, the results are automatically recorded in a grade book.

ConnectPlus powered by Maple delivers homework, quizzing, and testing to your students easily, reliably, and accurately. The exercises in ConnectPlus powered by Maple are authored using the industry-standard Maple technology which offers Natural Math Notation, Open-Ended Questions, and Equivalent Answer Capability. Your students will spend less time manipulating the answer, and more time learning.

Multi-Version Exercises are groups of problems focused around a particular topic that require the student to solve the problem using different inputs. For example, a problem on kinetic energy would be solved for mass, speed, and joule. This helps students to recognize how different problems are related so they can apply problem solving techniques to new questions in homework and on exams.

ConnectPlus e-Book is accessible by itself or through the Connect or LearnSmart module. The e-book includes integrated animations and simulations that help explain physics concepts and increase student understanding and learning.

Focus on Learning and Problem Solving The authors use of a strong learning framework as well as modern and compelling applications and examples supports and motivates the students journey to master the topics in a university physics course. Solved Problem examples present a consistent seven-step problem solving approach that encourages the student to Think Like a Scientist and make the right decisions on the way to solving the problem.
