Designed for algebra‑based introductory physics courses, the second edition of College Physics: A Strategic Approach continues the authors’ commitment to research‑based pedagogy and structured problem‑solving. Through clear chapter previews, integrated examples and summary problems, the text guides students from foundational topics like motion and forces through to energy, waves and thermodynamics. According to the publisher, this edition “refines and tailors” its content based on student and instructor feedback, reinforcing conceptual understanding and long‑term problem‑solving ability.
