PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY
The Sixth Edition features a new problem-solving strategy in which Examples follow a consistent Picture, Solve, and Check format. This format walks students through the steps involved in analyzing the problem, solving the problem, and then checking their answers. Examples often include helpful Taking It Further sections which present alternative ways of solving problems, interesting facts, or additional information regarding the concepts presented. Where appropriate, examples are followed by Practice Problems so students can assess their mastery of the concepts.

In this edition, the problem-solving steps are again juxtaposed with the necessary equations so that it’s easier for students to see a problem unfold. A boxed Problem-Solving Strategy is included in almost every chapter to reinforce the Picture, Solve, and Check format for successfully solving problems.

INTEGRATED MATH TUTORIAL
This edition has improved mathematical support for students who are taking calculus concurrently with introductory physics or for students who need a math review. The comprehensive Math Tutorial:
• reviews basic results of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus,
• links mathematical concepts to physics concepts in the text,
• provides Examples and Practice Problems so students may check their understanding of mathematical concepts.

PEDAGOGY TO ENSURE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Student-friendly tools have been added to allowfor better conceptual understanding of physics.
• New Conceptual Examples are introduced, where appropriate, to help students fully understand essential physics concepts. These Examples use the Picture, Solve, and Check strategy so that students not only gain fundamental conceptual understanding but must evaluate their answers. In addition, margin notes allow students to easily see the links between physics concepts in the text and math concepts.
• New Concept Checks enable students to check their conceptual understanding of physics concepts while they read chapters. Answers are located at the end of chapters to provide immediate feedback. Concept Checks are placed near relevant topics so students can immediately reread any material that they do not fully understand.
• Physics Spotlights at the end of appropriate chapters discuss current applications of physics and connect applications to concepts described in chapters. These topics range from wind farms to molecular thermometers to pulse detonation engines.
• New Pitfall Statements, identified by exclamation points, help students avoid common misconceptions. These statements are placed near the topics that commonly cause confusion, so that students can immediately address any difficulties.
