This algebra-based text helps students learn that physics is a tool for understanding the real world, and to teach transferable problem-solving skills that students can use throughout their lives. Some of the most important enhancements in this edition include: inclusion of math topic reviews, new/updated MCAT exam coverage, review and synthesis problems, new biomedical applications, lists of biomedical applications at the beginning of each chapter, new ranking tasks, checkpoints and collaborative problems. Connections have also been enhanced to help students see the bigger picture.
