Book Description
The 10th edition of Halliday’s Fundamentals of Physics builds upon previous editions by offering several new features to address the common course issues in calc-based Physics. Examples include: chapter sections organized and numbered to match the Concept Modules; added Learning Objectives; illustrations changed to reflect multimedia versions available in WileyPLUS; and new free body diagrams, GO tutorials and video illustrations in WileyPLUS. The new edition offers the most accurate, extensive and varied set of assessment questions of any course management program in addition to all questions including some form of question assistance – including answer-specific feedback – to facilitate success. The text also offers multimedia presentations (videos and animations) of much of the material that provide an alternative pathway through the material; ideal for those who struggle with reading scientific exposition. Furthermore, the book includes math review content in both a self-study module for more in-depth review. Also, just-in-time math videos are available for a quick refresher on a specific topic. The Halliday content is widely accepted as clear, correct, and complete. The end-of-chapters problems are without peer. The new design, which was introduced in 9e continues with 10e, making this new edition of Halliday the most accessible and reader-friendly book on the market.

Book Description
To many outsiders, mathematicians appear to think like computers, grimly grinding away with a strict formal logic and moving methodically--even algorithmically--from one black-and-white deduction to another. Yet mathematicians often describe their most important breakthroughs as creative, intuitive responses to ambiguity, contradiction, and paradox. A unique examination of this less-familiar aspect of mathematics, How Mathematicians Think reveals that mathematics is a profoundly creative activity and not just a body of formalized rules and results. Nonlogical qualities, William Byers shows, play an essential role in mathematics. Ambiguities, contradictions, and paradoxes can arise when ideas developed in different contexts come into contact. Uncertainties and conflicts do not impede but rather spur the development of mathematics. Creativity often means bringing apparently incompatible perspectives together as complementary aspects of a new, more subtle theory. The secret of mathematics is not to be found only in its logical structure. The creative dimensions of mathematical work have great implications for our notions of mathematical and scientific truth, and How Mathematicians Think provides a novel approach to many fundamental questions. Is mathematics objectively true? Is it discovered or invented? And is there such a thing as a "final" scientific theory? Ultimately, How Mathematicians Think shows that the nature of mathematical thinking can teach us a great deal about the human condition itself.
