College Physics 12/e, Global Edition [Serway/Vuille] 9798214046679

The 12th edition of COLLEGE PHYSICS, Global Edition provides your students with a time-tested topic organization and pedagogy, paired with digital course materials to facilitate teaching and learning. Its consistent strategy for problem-solving, numerous worked examples, and assignable content in WebAssign develop your students' understanding of physics.

• A new activity, S.T.E.P. (Scaffolding the Essentials of Physics), developed by co-author Chris Vuille, is available in WebAssign. STEP is a learning activity designed to systematically guide students into mastery as they learn to solve physics problems. The 12th edition has been aligned with the topic progression of STEP, offering your students consistency between textbook and WebAssign.

• New worked examples have been added, and many existing examples have been revised to improve their pedagogical value, clarity, and quality.
