Physics, 1st Australian & New Zealand Edition

Cutnell, Jones, Collins, Daicopoulos, Blankleider

Print ISBN : 9780730382881   |  Digital ISBN : 9780730382911 

The ideal physics resource for students without a calculus background, Cutnell’s Physics, 1st Australian and New Zealand Edition, has been reimagined for the first time for ANZ students. This new edition focuses on conceptual understanding, problem solving and providing local applications with relevance to ANZ students.

This resource supports students of all abilities to challenge themselves and test their skills with end of chapter problems rated by level of complexity from simple to higher order thinking. The new clear and concise design also allows for greater readability and student focus.

Available as a full colour printed textbook with an interactive eBook code included, this title enables students to master concepts and succeed in assessment; it is designed to make the most out of learning.

Visible differentiation

End of chapter problems are rated by difficulty, so students of all abilities can challenge themselves and improve their skills.

Local ANZ content 

Each chapter is introduced with an exciting Australian or New Zealand example to give local context and engage students.

Clear and concise

A new space-saving and clear page design that is easier to read and a heavily reduced page count makes for a lighter overall resource.

The latest edition of Physics, includes these key features:

    • The spelling throughout the resource has been Australianised 
    • New chapter introductions bring a local context to the material, so students see the relevance to their study and that physics advances and applications occur in Australia and New Zealand
    • ANZ feature boxes highlight interesting local case studies designed to engage students by showing how physics is being advanced and applied in Australia and New Zealand and how physics advances are – not just in the US
    • Reduced page extent 
    • Selected odd numbered questions have been removed from the print textbook and moved into the E-Text to reduce page extent
    • The page layout has been refreshed into a cleaner, and less cluttered single column design to improve readability and allow for greater focus
    •  A local edition means Wiley Australia can offer ANZ students and academics even greater value with affordable, local pricing
