SAPLINGPLUS MEDIA UPDATE
The 2020 Media Update for *Physics for Scientists  and Engineers, *Sixth Edition includes new homework options, instructor resources, and an enhanced e-book. SaplingPlus offers a seamless platform integration of
*Prelecture videos and assignments* (from FlipIt, formerly SmartPhysics), as well as* Sapling Learning homework*, with our hallmark hints, error-specific feedback, and solutions for every question. The Sixth Edition e-book has been updated to include search functionality, offline reading, and an accessible screenreader. In addition to SaplingPlus, instructor resources have been updated, including brand new lecture slides.

PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY
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. 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. Math review is also emphasized through the Math Tutorial assignments in SaplingPlus.

PEDAGOGY TO ENSURE CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Student-friendly tools have been added to allow for better conceptual understanding of physics. *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 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.
• 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."
