College Physics, Fifth Edition, presents a unique "forces first" approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles. That intuitive approach, combined with a consistent problem-solving strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior digital support make Giambattista a product that addresses the needs of TODAY's students. The 5th edition adds more applications to real-life, more problems, and highlights support for math skills needed for physics. McGraw-Hill Education's Connect and ALEKS Prep for College Physics are available as optional, add on items.

This Physics textbook presents the basic concepts of physics that students need to know for later courses and future careers. This algebra-based text helps students learn that physics is a tool for understanding the real world, and to teach transferable problem-solving skills, that students can use throughout their entire lives. Some of the most important enhancements in this edition include: inclusion of math topic reviews, new/updated MCAT exam coverage added and on online, review and synthesis problems added, new biomedical applications, lists of biomedical applications at the beginning of each chapter, new ranking tasks, checkpoints, and collaborative problems. Connections have also been enhanced to help students see the bigger picture.
