NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value–this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a CourseID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For courses in calculus-based physics. The benchmark for clarity and rigor, influenced by the latest in education research. Since its first edition, University Physics has been revered for its emphasis on fundamental principles and how to apply them. This text is known for its clear and thorough narrative, as well as its uniquely broad, deep, and thoughtful sets of worked examples that provide students with key tools for developing both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. The Fourteenth Edition improves the defining features of the text while adding new features influenced by education research to teach the skills needed by today’s students. A focus on visual learning, new problem types, and pedagogy informed by MasteringPhysics metadata headline the improvements designed to create the best learning resource for physics students. Also available with MasteringPhysics MasteringPhysics ® from Pearson is the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics. Students can further master concepts after class through traditional and adaptive homework assignments that provide hints and answer-specific feedback. The Mastering gradebook records scores for all automatically graded assignments in one place, while diagnostic tools give instructors access to rich data to assess student understanding and misconceptions. Mastering brings learning full circle by continuously adapting to each student and making learning more personal than ever—before, during, and after class. Review: Beautiful, Helpful, Excellent... and Beware! - This textbook was incredibly helpful and life-saving in the two semester physics sequence. It is well-written and I enjoyed reading it just for fun. The book has been Pearsonized in the sense that there are millions of problems in it that you will probably never do. However, this allows instructors to pick problems that match their pedagogy and allows students to have plenty of other practice problems. Also, the MasteringPhysics problems seemed to be easier than the textbook problems. My first course in Mechanics was much easier than the second semester. The problems in the Electricity/Magnetism section can be very, very hard even if you are completely prepared. Sadistic professors may assign these problems without covering the necessary material in class. So make sure you have a kind and effective professor! With that said, this book is entirely appropriate for self-study and for traditional courses. But be careful when you sign up for the second semester. Freshman math classes (college algebra through calculus III) can easily be covered in a short period of time by anyone who is mathematically sophisticated. It is not necessarily the same for natural sciences, and I learned this the hard way in Physics II by taking it in a 5-week summer session. Unless you are entirely confident, over-prepared, and already experienced with electronics in some way, please take my advice and complete this course in the long semester. The alternative is very stressful. The writing is clear, and the typesetting is beautiful. You will want to keep it on your shelf if you intend to go further with physics. Review: Book Arrived in Good Condition - I bought the book in Paperback and was pleased to see it arrive in a Good Condition with minimal damage, the book is in black and white and being Paperback is susceptible to damage if not treated with the utmost care. As for the review of the book in terms of content, the book is one of the clearest and most enjoyable physics textbooks I have ever read. The author is to the point with his explanations and his development for the motivation behind many physical principles is exceptional.

Excellent condition and great price
Excellent condition and great price. This text is typically $200+ and I got the looseleaf version for $60, which is a steal! I've always used hardcover textbooks, but after using this looseleaf version, I will be buying looseleaf texts from now on! It is extremely convenient to just grab the chapters I need instead of lugging around a giant textbook.

Good find. Saved money!
Arrived in great condition, but -1 Star since I wasn't expecting it to be only Black and White. Its the Full Book, but with paperback and no color. Color pages definitely help, but not worth > 3x this one's price. Side note: the Solutions Manual helps tremendously and also, this book (in full color) is available as PDF for free with some digging around in google searches.

great price but sadly a page was damaged when it
Update: the pages are very very thin and can be easily tore. I very gently flipped through the pages yet still the metal binder thing tore through a binder hole on one thin piece of paper. Just have to be very careful **************************** Received loose leaf version of this book for around $63, great price but sadly a page was damaged when it arrived.

Outstanding
The explanations are very good and very accessible, with lots of examples. I haven't seen any typos so far. The book is really terrific and I don't understand problems people are having with it. This book monopolized the market? I don't care - it's fantastic anyway. My Soviet high school textbooks were very similar to the most of this book - maybe because physics works the same way everywhere on this planet, so do we really need a lot of Choice and Freedom to deliver the same fundamental ideas anyway?

Super heavy book, shows signs of high quality
What can I say? I wish I knew Physics already so I wouldn't have to lug this bad boy around!!! What does this thing weigh anyway???...like a jillion friggin' pounds lol. All jokes aside, the size of this book indicates how powerful the contents of it really are, and the tools contained cover to cover will help you understand the world we live in and understand concepts that you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Not to mention, you could knock out an assailant with this monster!! I love it!!!

Filled with errors...global edition
Filled with errors. I think this is why the global version is way cheaper than the other versions. This should not be sold because if you are learning new concepts (in my case independently) and it is wrong to begin with, you will make mistakes the entire time. I have had to watch videos on khan academy to clear up the mess this book caused. I am disappointed.
