Mazur's unique pedagogy and popular peer-to-peer instruction techniques incorporate insights supported by physics education research (PER) to help students develop a true conceptual understanding alongside the quantitative skills needed in the course. The material emphasises core unifying ideas with the first half of each chapter teaching the ideas using words and images - not mathematics. The second half of each chapter casts the ideas into quantitative and symbolic form. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003e2nd Edition\u003c\/b\u003e integrates key features from the \u003ci\u003ePractice\u003c\/i\u003e volume into the \u003ci\u003ePrinciples\u003c\/i\u003e volume and provides all \u003ci\u003ePractice\u003c\/i\u003e volume content in Mastering Physics.

The text develops conservation of momentum and energy before Newton's laws, and emphasises symmetry, conservation, and unity throughout. In mechanics, this approach avoids many of the pitfalls related to the concept of force, leads naturally to the two-body character of forces, and enables students to solve a range of problems before bringing in calculus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConcept of a system \u003c\/b\u003eis used explicitly and consistently throughout the text. Many ideas in physics depend on distinguishing system from surroundings and selecting an appropriate system is a key skill for solving many types of problems. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBoth Galilean and special relativity\u003c\/b\u003e help to explain many ideas of physics.

The \u003cb\u003eConcepts section\u003c\/b\u003e develops the ideas in qualitative terms, using words and pictures and building from specific observations to general principles. The \u003cb\u003eQuantitative Tools\u003c\/b\u003e section formalises the ideas mathematically.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe core ideas of mechanics are developed in one dimension,\u003c\/b\u003e helping students to concentrate on learning them before tackling the mathematical complexities of two-dimensional analysis.

The text often reads like a dialog between author and reader, rather than the traditional authoritarian approach that states definitions and principles backed up with derivations and examples.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStrong visual instruction \u003c\/b\u003epresents figures as visual explanations and ideas in visual terms. In accordance with research on visual instruction, visuals incorporate explanation and are quite schematic, highlighting key relationships and omitting unnecessary detail. If figures do not require a third dimension, they do not use one. Many figures show multiple representations that combine a situation sketch with a graph or bar diagram.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e New to this edition \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn expanded user-friendly and interactive approach for students \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKey features from the \u003ci\u003ePractice\u003c\/i\u003e volume now appear in the \u003ci\u003ePrinciples\u003c\/i\u003e volume\u003c\/b\u003e, giving students access to content and features in one location. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePractice problems and Chapter Summaries \u003c\/b\u003eare now located in the \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples\u003c\/i\u003e eText\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAll \u003ci\u003ePractice\u003c\/i\u003e volume content and features\u003c\/b\u003e are now located in Mastering Physics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDeveloping a Feel \u003c\/b\u003ehelps students to develop a quantitative feel for the quantities introduced in the chapter and to learn to make valid assumptions and estimates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWorked and Guided Example videos \u003c\/b\u003egive students the opportunity to review a worked example before they attempt to solve a similar problem.
