Features


Achieve is a comprehensive set of interconnected teaching and assessment tools. It incorporates the most effective elements from Macmillan’s market leading solutions—including Sapling, LaunchPad, iClicker and others—in a single, easy to use platform. Our resources were co-designed with instructors and students, using a foundation of learning research and rigorous testing.

  • Over 3,000 questions, each with hints, answer-specific feedback, and a fully worked solution. Question types include
    • Multiple choice
    • Ranking
    • Sorting
    • Symbolic expression entry
    • Graphing
    • Numeric entry
    • Multi-part questions
  • Math review assignments
  • A mobile, interactive e-book, powered by VitalSource, allows students to highlight and take notes, print select pages, and have the text read aloud to them.
  • Integration with campus LMS
  • Prelecture videos from FlipIt Physics present material in an alternative method to support multimedia learning and limit cognitive load.
    • Each video is 1-3 minutes in length, totalling an assignment length of approximately 15 minutes.
  • Conceptual questions are interspersed between Prelecture videos to keep students engaged and on track.
  • Bridge questions give students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding before coming to class, while providing insights for instructors, leading to more meaningful class time..

In the Text

  • The Sixth Edition features a 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 real world applications of physics and connect applications to concepts described in chapters. These topics range from wind farms to molecular thermometers to pulse detonation engines.
  • 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.

Authors

Paul A. Tipler

Paul Tipler was born in the small farming town of Antigo, Wisconsin, in 1933. He graduated from high school in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where his father was superintendent of the public schools. He received his B.S. from Purdue University in 1955 and his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in 1962, where he studied the structure of nuclei. He taught for one year at Wesleyan University in Connecticut while writing his thesis, then moved to Oakland University in Michigan, where he was one of the original members of the physics department, playing a major role in developing the physics curriculum. During the next 20 years, he taught nearly all the physics courses and wrote the first and second editions of his widely used textbooks Modern Physics (1969, 1978) and Physics (1976, 1982). In 1982, he moved to Berkeley, California, where he now resides, and where he wrote College Physics (1987) and the third edition of Physics (1991). In addition to physics, his interests include music, hiking, and camping, and he is an accomplished jazz pianist and poker player.
