• Hundreds of links to The Flying Circus of Physics 2e have been added in the narrative and in the end-of-chapter problems; they are marked with a biplane icon.
• • The biplane icon provides electronic link in the ebook to an electronic version of The Flying Circus of Physics 2e.
  • Links to the electronic version of The Flying Circus of Physics 2e are also available as problem solving assistance in WileyPLUS.
• New chapter opening Puzzlers have been replaced with Flying Circus of Physics 2e content.
• Every Sample Problem in the text has been restructured to emphasize first the KEY IDEAS of a problem and then the separate stages of calculation. This approach (first find the idea and then use an equation) retrains a student from the instinctive plug-and-chug approach. For easy reference, the KEY IDEA is called out in purple.
• “Build Your Skill” Sample Problems in each chapter provide careful guidance in problem-solving skills that can be transferred to the solution of other types of problems. 
• The Newtonian force for gravitation, the Coulomb force for electrostatics, and the Biot-Savart law for magnetic fields are now introduced in the concise and precise notation of a radial unit vector in order to emphasize the vector nature of the forces.

WileyPLUS

• All end of chapter problems are available for assignment in WileyPLUS with multiple forms of problem solving help including: Link to Text, Link to Flying Circus, Link to Additional Sample Problems, Hints, Solutions, Answers
  • All end of chapter problems are algorithmic.
• “Thoughtful hints” have been written by Jearl Walker for every problem in the book. These hints are similar to ones Jearl would provide to a student while sitting next to them in his office hours. His goal is getting students to think, not to simply give the student the answer.
• Jearl Walker has written an additional bank of 400 Sample Problems that are exclusive to WileyPLUS. Each end of chapter problem has been linked to the additional 400 Sample Problems and/or the 284 Sample Problems in the textbook. 
• GO™ Tutorial Problems, written by Jearl Walker, help students work through key problem solving steps needed.

• Opening puzzlers.
  • A curious puzzling situation opens each chapter and is explained somewhere within the chapter, to entice a student to read the chapter. These features, which are a hallmark of Fundamentals of Physics, are based on current research as reported in scientific, engineering, medical, and legal journals.
• What is physics?
  • The narrative of every chapter now begins with this question, and with an answer that pertains to the subject of the chapter. (A plumber once asked me, “What do you do for a living?” I replied, “I teach physics.” He thought for several minutes and then asked, “What is physics?” The plumber’s career was entirely based on physics, yet he did not even know what physics is. Many students in introductory physics do not know what physics is but assume that it is irrelevant to their chosen career.)
• Checkpoints
  • are stopping points that effectively ask the student, “Can you answer this question with some reasoning based on the narrative or sample problem that you just read?” If not, then the student should go back over that previous material before traveling deeper into the chapter. For example, see Checkpoint 2 on page 62 and Checkpoint 2 on page 280. Answers to all checkpoints are in the back of the book.
• Sample problems
  • are chosen to demonstrate how problems can be solved with reasoned solutions rather than quick and simplistic plugging of numbers into an equation with no regard for what the equation means.
• Key Ideas
  • in the sample problems focus a student on the basic concepts at the root of the solution to a problem. In effect, these key ideas say, “We start our solution by using this basic concept, a procedure that prepares us for solving many other problems.We don’t start by grabbing an equation for a quick plug-andchug, a procedure that prepares us for nothing.”
• Problem-solving tactics
  • contain helpful instructions to guide the beginning physics student as to ow to solve problems and avoid common errors.
• Review & Summary
  • is a brief outline of the chapter contents that contains the essential concepts but which is not a substitute for reading the chapter.
• Questions
  • are like the checkpoints and require reasoning and understanding rather than calculations. Answers to the odd-numbered questions are in the back of the book.
• Problems
  • are grouped under section titles and are labeled according to difficulty. Answers to the odd-numbered problems are in the back of the book.
• Icons for additional help
  • When worked-out solutions are provided either in print or electronically for certain of the odd-numbered problems, the statements for those problems include a trailing icon to alert both student and instructor as to where the solutions are located.
• Additional problems
  • These problems are not ordered or sorted in any way so that a student must determine which parts of the chapter apply to any given problem.
