For two- and three-semester university physics courses, Richard Wolfson's Essential University Physics is a comprehensive and progressive calculus-based physics textbook that offers clear writing, excellent problems, and relevant real-life applications in an affordable and streamlined text. The book teaches sound problem-solving strategies and emphasizes conceptual understanding, using features such as annotated figures and step-by-step problem-solving strategies. Realizing that students have changed significantly over time while the fundamentals of physics have changed very little, Wolfson makes physics relevant and alive for students by sharing the latest physics applications in a concise and captivating style.

The 4th Edition incorporates research from instructors, reviewers, and thousands of students to expand the book's problem sets and consistent problem-solving strategy. A new problem type guides students to see patterns, make connections between problems that can be solved using similar steps, and apply those steps when working problems on homework and exams. New digital tools and the interactive Pearson eText increase student interactivity to help them develop confidence in solving problems, deepen their conceptual understanding, and strengthen quantitative-reasoning skills.

Essential University Physics is offered as two paperback volumes available together or for sale individually. Also available with Mastering Physics, By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Now providing a fully integrated learning experience, Mastering Physics combines video tutorials, interactive simulations, and practice problems to help students master the principles of physics.
