Conceptual Physics, 13th Edition by Paul Hewitt is the textbook that defined the concepts-first physics course, teaching physics concepts before calculations. Real-world analogies and images help you develop a conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics. You’ll be able to reason about the physical world conceptually, connect everyday experience to physics principles, and build the intuition that makes equations meaningful.
Topics covered include motion, Newton’s laws, momentum and energy, gravity, fluids, heat and thermodynamics, vibrations, waves, and sound, electricity and magnetism, light and color, atomic and nuclear physics, and relativity. Fun and easy-to-perform projects involve you in the scientific process of exploration and observation. Insight boxes offer snippets about how topics relate to real-life situations, experiments, and other parts of the book.
The 13th Edition continues to make physics fascinating with informative and fun Hewitt-Drew-It screencasts and updated content and applications. Updated topics include digital technology, the environment, and energy.
