About your course materials
PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS is the only text specifically written for institutions that offer a calculus-based physics course for their life science majors. Authors Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett have revised the Fifth Edition of PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS to include a new worked example format, new biomedical applications, two new Contexts features, a revised problem set based on an analysis of problem usage data from WebAssign, and a thorough revision of every piece of line art in the text. The Enhanced WebAssign course for PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS is very robust, with all end-of-chapter problems, an interactive YouBook, and book-specific tutorials.

ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS USAGE DATA FROM WEBASSIGN; GUIDED PROBLEMS REVISION. The authors have utilized extensive user data gathered by WebAssign from both professors and students to identify problems containing muddled or unclear phrasing. The data was used to ensure that the problems professors assigned the most were retained for this new edition. In each chapter's Problem Set, the top quartile of problems that were assigned in WebAssign have been given an icon for easy identification.
INTEGRATION WITH ENHANCED WEBASSIGN. The textbook's tight integration with Enhanced WebAssign content facilitates an online learning environment that helps students improve their problem-solving skills and gives them a variety of tools to meet their individual learning styles.
WEBASSIGN MASTER IT TUTORIALS. The text now offers stepped-through solutions to a select number of problems per chapter in Enhanced WebAssign. Problems with "Master It" tutorials in Enhanced WebAssign are indicated in each chapter's problem set with an "M" icon.
WEBASSIGN WATCH IT VIDEOS. WebAssign "Watch It" solution videos (available with selected problems in Enhanced WebAssign) explain fundamental problem-solving strategies to help students step through the problem. Problems with Watch It videos in Enhanced WebAssign are indicated in each chapter's Problem Set with a "W" icon.
