Click here for the Video Solutions that accompany this book. Developed by Professor Edward Berger, University of Virginia, these are complete, step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section of the text.


Features

Expanded Chapter Review — A more thorough end of chapter review has been developed for the 7/e.  Each important point is now accompanied by the relevant equation and art from the chapter providing the students a concise tool for reviewing chapter contents.

 

Video Solutions – Developed by Professor Edward Berger, University of Virginia, these are complete, step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section.  Videos offer:

  • Fully-worked Solutions – Showing every step of representative homework problems, to help students make vital connections between concepts.
  • Self-paced Instruction – Students can navigate each problem and select, play, rewind, fast-forward, stop, and jump-to-sections within each problem’s solution.
  • 24/7 Access – Help whenever students need it with over 20 hours of helpful review.

UpdatedProblems

 

Extended Examples — Concluding notes have been incorporated in the examples, enabling the student to extend the analysis of the example.

 

Summaries
