Description Physics, Seventh Edition is designed for the non-calculus physics course taken by students who are pursuing careers in science or engineering technology. Content is built through extensive use of examples with detailed solutions designed to develop students' problem-solving skills.
Features
CONCEPTUAL EXAMPLES in every chapter show the student how to develop problem solving strategies.
Includes marginal notes that involve "Key Terms", "Critical Thinking Questions", "Using the Calculator", "Job Tips", "Math Revisted", "Internet Connections" plus other areas of interest to today's student.
Comprehensive Instructor's Management System contains solutions to chapter-ending questions and problems; ideas for using the Internet in the classroom; answers to Activities Manual experiments; and a new CD-ROM with a PowerPoint presentation of key chapter features and a comprehensive Windows-based test bank.
Digital Content Manager includes electronic copies of all images from the text plus text-specific PowerPoint presentation for each chapter.
Instructor's Testing and Resource CD-ROM includes an electronic test generator, the testbank in Word and the Instructor's Manual in Word.

Student Online Resources include: ' Study Questions. True-false, multiple-choice, and completion questions which were formerly found in the Activities Manual. This material has been tested in the classroom and revised to effect maximum learning. ' Tutorials. The author has prepared a comprehensive, web-based set of instructional PowerPoint modules for each chapter in the text. These tutorials are excellent for review prior to lectures, after lectures, before examinations, and before the final examination. They are also very useful to students who miss classes or who desire additional practice and discussion of physical concepts.
Instructor Online Resources include all of the above, plus: ' An Instructor's Manual, which includes the solutions to all the end of chapter problems and notes for laboratory experiments as well as the experiments themselves available for printing and copying. These materials were formerly included in the Activities Manual ' The Online Learning Center can be easily loaded into course management systems such as Blackboard, WebCT, eCollege, and PageOut.
Interactives (located on the Online Learning Center). McGraw-Hill is proud to bring you an assortment of outstanding Interactive Applets like no other. These 'Interactives' offer a fresh and dynamic method for teaching the physics basics by providing students with applets that are completely accurate and work with real data. Interactives allow students to manipulate parameters and gain better understanding of 16 of the more difficult physics topics by watching the effect of these manipulations. Each Interactive includes an analysis tool (interactive model), a tutorial describing its function, and content describing its principle themes. Users can jump between these exercises and analysis tools with just the click of the mouse.
