Instructor Information
Quick Actions (Only for Validated Instructor Accounts):
Six Ideas that Shaped Physics is comprised of six units, providing a unique approach to a two- or three-semester calculus-based introductory physics course. The text is designed to teach students to apply basic physical principles to realistic situations, and to resolve contradictions between their preconceived notions and the laws of physics. Through integrated practice, students learn to solve realistic problems, and organize the ideas of physics into an integrated hierarchy.
This title is available in Connect with SmartBook, including comprehensive End-of-Chapter homework, an eBook, and Online Labs for Physics.
The six units are:
Unit C: Conservation Laws Constrain Interactions
Unit Q: Particles Behave Like Waves (Quantum physics)
Unit N: The Laws of Physics are Universal (Newtonian mechanics)
Unit R: Laws of Physics are Frame Independent (Relativity)
Unit T: Some Processes are Irreversible (Thermal physics)
Unit E: Electric and Magnetic Fields Are Unified
