Now available for the first time with Macmillan's new online learning tool Achieve, Freedman's College Physics makes it easy for instructors to support every student by using best teaching practices in their algebra-based physics courses. With resources for before, during, and after class, students of all backgrounds are engaged and supported at every step of the learning process. The text further supports student comprehension with its hallmark Set Up, Solve, Reflect problem-solving approach to help students understand and visualize problems. Perfect for students of all backgrounds, the text contains call-outs to additional math review and relevant applications of physics, including those from biology.&nbsp; In this edition, the end-of-chapter questions have been thoroughly updated for clarity and quality and are now all available for assigning in Achieve, while still featuring detailed and targeted feedback, solutions, and hints for every question.

Using biological and medical applications and examples to illustrate key concepts in calculus-based physics, University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences teaches the fundamentals of introductory physics by using physiology, biomedical, and life science topics to help you connect physics to living systems.

University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences: Volume I

Available for Fall 2012 classes.
Authors Philip R. Kesten and David L. Tauck take a fresh and innovative approach to the university physics (calculus-based) course. They combine their experience teaching physics (Kesten) and biology (Tauck) to create a text that engages students by using biological and medical applications and examples to illustrate key concepts. 
University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences teaches the fundamentals of introductory physics, while weaving in formative physiology, biomedical, and life science topics to help students connect physics to living systems. The authors help life science and pre-med students develop a deeper appreciation for why physics is important to their future work and daily lives. With its thorough coverage of concepts and problem-solving strategies, University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences can also be used as a novel approach to teaching physics to engineers and scientists or for a more rigorous approach to teaching the college physics (algebra-based) course.
University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences utilizes six key features to help students learn the principle concepts of university physics:• A seamless blend of physics and physiology with interesting examples of physics in students’ lives, • A strong focus on developing problem-solving skills (Set Up, Solve, and Reflect problem-solving strategy), • Conceptual questions (Got the Concept) built into the flow of the text, • “Estimate It!” problems that allow students to practice important estimation skills • Special attention to common misconceptions that often plague students, and • Detailed artwork designed to promote visual learning
