The most highly regarded physics resource of the past 50 years, Halliday's Fundamentals of Physics, has been reimagined for the first time for ANZ students. The original Halliday and Resnick text was named the most outstanding physics text of the 20th century by the American Physical Society, and this new edition continues what this resource is known and loved for. This first Australian and New Zealand Edition features local examples, sample problems and cases which highlight how physics is being advanced and applied in Australia and New Zealand. This means students are exposed to many opportunities to draw connections between what they are learning and real-world applications. These features include thought-provoking problems, clear standardised diagrams and thorough but highly readable pedagogy. Available as a full colour printed textbook with an interactive eBook code included, this title enables students to master concepts and succeed in assessment by taking the roadblocks out of self-study, with features designed so you get the most out of learning.
