Description
No other book on the market today can match the success of Halliday, Resnick and Walker's "Fundamentals of Physics"! In a breezy, easy-to-understand style the book offers a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and helps readers apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving.

Description
The sixth edition of this best-selling text has undergone a major redesign to make it look and feel even more accessible to students. Almost all of the changes are based on suggestions from lecturers and students using the fifth edition, from reviewer comments, and from research conducted by the publisher on the process of learning. The primary aim of this text is to provide students with a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and to help them apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving.
