Just the Essentials
Richard Wolfson’s Essential University Physics, Third Edition is a concise and progressive calculus-based physics textbook that offers clear writing, great problems, and relevant real-life applications in an affordable and streamlined text. Essential University Physics teaches sound problem-solving skills, emphasizes conceptual understanding, and makes connections to the real world. Features such as annotated figures and step-by-step problem-solving strategies help students master concepts and solve problems with confidence.
Essential University Physics is offered as two paperback volumes available together or for sale individually.
MasteringPhysics not included. Students, if MasteringPhysics is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MasteringPhysics should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
MasteringPhysics is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.
Volume 1 contains Chapters 1–19.
Volume 2 contains Chapters 20–39.

Features of the Text
- Emphasize conceptual understanding:
- NEW! Big Picture features begin each chapter, connecting past, present, and future content. Students will develop an understanding of the connections between different physics principles helping them to see how the overarching principles fit together.
- Got It? questions present multiple-choice and ranking task problems in most sections to prompt students to check their understanding of key concepts as they read.
- NEW! “GOT IT?” questions have been revised for clicker systems to inspire classroom discussion.
- NEW! Media links (as scanable QR codes) link to Video Tutor Demos (VTDs). These are placed in the text near appropriate content, so students have easy access to a more visual, engaging presentation.
- NEW! “For Thought and Discussion” answers are now available to instructors in the Mastering Instructor Resource Area (MIRA), making it easy to spark classroom discussion.
- NEW! Increased numbers of both Conceptual Examples and worked examples help students understand how to work through the more difficult problems and concepts.
- Focus on the fundamentals:
- Written with brevity and affordability in mind, Wolfson offers a concise and streamlined solution for students and instructors.
- The text promotes the overarching theme that physics has a simple foundation that underlies a wide range of topics.
- Key equationsand definitions are set on colored screens with titles and explanatory material, so that students will not grab a bare equation withou
