The new Ninth Edition of Halliday, Resnick and Walker’s Principles of Physics has been strategically revised to focus on engaging students, supporting critical thinking and moving students to the next level of physics understanding.
Key to the Ninth Edition’s support for critical thinking and development of understanding physics concepts is Jearl Walker’s modern voice. Jearl Walker is both an active teacher, who understands the challenges faced in today’s classroom, and a world renowned communicator of science to the general public. His Flying Circus of Physics is a cult classic among physics students and instructors and material from this book is integrated throughout the Ninth Edition to catch students’ attention, engage them, and encourage them to solve the underlying real world physics phenomenon and concepts, before they begin the more quantitative portion of the content or problem.

WileyPLUS combines the complete, dynamic online text with a valuable suite of teaching and learning resources in one easy-to-use system. It provides a very robust collection of high-quality problem sets, offering immediate and meaningful feedback to students, along
with varying levels of question assistance. In addition to offering the end-of-chapter problem sets, WileyPLUS provides the support instructors need to efficiently and effectively manage their classroom and improve student performance.
• A Math Skills Module – essentially a Chapter Zero – gets students up to speed with a comprehensive review of the algebra and calculus required in the course.
• Guided Online (GO) Tutorials – these step-by-step tutorials, written by Jearl Walker, start with the key idea then break the problem down into steps, providing hints along the way. As he wrote these, Jearl imagined what he would say to a student in his office who was stuck on a problem. The result is a friendly, clear explanation that helps students along the way. The ninth edition features over 500 GO Tutorials!
• Additional interactive simulations, animations and video mini-lectures accommodate a variety of learning styles. Through the videos, Jearl Walker teaches students how to read technical content. Extra help material (not in the printed text) is available through hypertext links for those students who need or want it.

Matter & Interactions offers a modern curriculum for introductory physics (calculus-based). It is modern in that it presents physics the way practicing physicists think about their discipline and integrates 20th Century physics and computational physics.
The text emphasizes that there are only a small number of fundamental principles that underlie the behavior of matter, and that by using these powerful principles, it is possible to construct models that can explain and predict a wide variety of physical phenomena.
Features:• Modeling: The text places a major emphasis on constructing and using physical models . A central
aspect of science is the modeling of complex real-world phenomena. A physical model is based on fundamental principles; its intent is to predict or explain the most important aspects of an actual situation.
• Computer Modeling: Computer modeling is now as important as theory and experiment in contemporary science and engineering. Computer modeling is introduced right away to help build a strong foundation in the use of this important tool.
• Experiments Using Simple Equipment: Some end-of-chapter problems involve experiments using simple equipment such as weights, string, coffee filters, scotch tape, etc. By experimenting with very simple equipment, students can gain insight into rather deep scientific issues.
• Active Learning: Stop and Think questions are interspersed throughout the reading to encourage students to engage the material more deeply.
• Lab Activities: There is a complete set of lab activities that were written specifically for a Matter & Interactions-style course.
ContentsModern Mechanics; Interactions and Motion; The Momentum Principle; The Fundamental Interactions; Contact Interactions; Rate of Change of Momentum; The Energy Principle; Internal Energy; Energy Quantization; Multiparticle Systems; Collisions; Angular Momentum; Entropy: Limits on the Possible; Gases and Engines; Electric Field; Electric Fields and Matter; Electric Field of Distributed Charges; Electric Potential; Magnetic Field; Electric Field and Circuits; Circuit Elements; Magnetic Force; Patterns of Field in Space; Faraday’s Law; Electromagnetic Radiation; Waves and Particles.

Written with today’s students in mind, this new edition covers the core material required by an introductory course in a clear and refreshing way. Each topic is introduced from first principles so that the text is suitable for students without a prior background in physics. At the same time the book is designed to enable students to proceed easily to subsequent courses in physics and may be used to support such courses.
New to this edition• Completely revised and simplified. • The importance of the role of mathematical modeling in physics has been stressed more strongly. • New sections have been included on dissipative forces, forced oscillations, non-linear dynamics and
on electromagnetic waves at interfaces between media. • A completely new chapter on optics has been added, including novel derivations of the equations for
mirrors, lenses and Bragg scattering. • The emphasis on integration of the various topics into a view of physics as a unified whole has been
increased; for example, the concept of flux (and Gauss’ law) has been introduced at an earlier stage to enable it to be applied to gravitation.

This book aims to demystify fundamental biophysics for students in the health and biosciences required to study physics and to understand the mechanistic behaviour of biosystems. The text is well supplemented by worked conceptual examples that will constitute the main source for the students, whilst combining conceptual examples and practice problems with more quantitative examples and recent technological advances.
Features:• Covers classical physics for a very specific audience – health science majors with no serious
background in mathematics and in many cases a limited interest in physics. • Follows standard well-established physics curricula but with an unusual combination of relatively low
level and huge breadth, combined with a clear focus on health related examples. • All of the physics presented is motivated by its use in the health sciences, thus explicit, and frequent,
reference to health science applications are included. • All explanations are short and easily understood, with no unnecessary complexity. • Lots of detailed worked examples and lots of problems for the students to solve. • Examples designed to aid the development of problem solving skills, linked directly to end-of-chapter
problems.
