The 10 th edition of Halliday's Fundamentals of Physics, builds upon previous issues by offering several new features and additions. The new edition offers 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 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 and also in just-in-time math videos 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. ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Halliday is associated with the University of Pittsburgh as Professor Emeritus.

  • The Motif of Grapes and Grapevines Along the Silk Roads
    ACTA VIA SERICA Vol. 3, No. 2, December 2018: 107–134 doi:10.22679/avs.2018.3.2.006 The Journey to the East: The Motif of Grapes and Grapevines along the Silk Roads IN-SUNG KIM (HAN) This paper is an art historical attempt to discuss the transfer and transmission of a certain visual idiom along the Silk Roads1 and to show the multi- dimensionality of the trans-regional, trans-cultural movement. The motifs of grapes and grapevines are discussed here for this purpose, including the grape-and-vine motif mixed with other animated figures and plants. A special emphasis is on China and its reception, but regional varieties within East Asia are also discussed. The motif is one of the most longstanding and versatile visual idioms, widely distributed along the regions of the Silk Roads. This deceptively familiar motif came to China, where grapes and viticulture were introduced far later than the West. The West developed various symbolisms ranging from manic revelry and heavenly unity with mystic beings, to royalty and power in different cultures. In China, this visual idiom was eagerly received in association with something exotic and re-interpreted in the context of Chinese culture. Without active viticulture, IN-SUNG KIM (HAN) ([email protected]) is a research associate at SOAS, University of London, UK. * I would like to acknowledge the time and effort devoted by three anonymous reviewers to improving the quality of the article. Thanks to their careful reading of my article and their many insightful comments and suggestions, I feel that the argument of the article has become stronger.

Mason 2009 iii REFLECTION ON PROBLEM SOLVING IN INTRODUCTORY AND ADVANCED PHYSICS Andrew J. Mason, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 Reflection is essential in order to learn from problem solving. This thesis explores issues related to how reflective students are and how we can improve their capacity for reflection on problem solving. We investigate how students naturally reflect in their physics courses about problem solving and evaluate strategies that may teach them reflection as an integral component of problem-solving. Problem categorization based upon similarity of solution is a strategy to help them reflect about the deep features of the problems related to the physics principles involved. We find that there is a large overlap between the introductory and graduate students in their ability to categorize.
