Brian Jones

Brian Jones

Dr. Brian Jones has won numerous teaching awards at Colorado State University throughout his 30 years teaching in the Department of Physics. In 2011, Dr. Jones was awarded the Robert A. Millikan Medal of the American Association of Physics Teachers for his work as director of the Little Shop of Physics.

Brian is actively exploring the effectiveness of methods of informal science education and how to extend these lessons to the classroom. He has been invited to give workshops on techniques of science instruction throughout the United States and in Chile, Belize, Azerbaijan, Mexico, Ethiopia, Norway, Namibia, and Slovenia.

Randall D. Knight

Randall D. Knight

Dr. Randall Knight or Randy, taught introductory physics for 32 years at California Polytechnic University and Ohio State University. He is Professor Emeritus of Physics at Cal Polytechnic Univ. Professor Knight received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics before joining the faculty at Ohio State University. It was at Ohio State that he began to learn about the research in physics education that, many years later, led to 5 Easy Lessons: Strategies for Successful Physics Teaching and this ebook, as well as College Physics: A Strategic Approach, co-authored with Stuart Field and Brian Jones. Randy’s research interests are in the field of environmental science and laser spectroscopy. When Dr. Knight is not in front of a computer, you can find him hiking,playing the piano, sea kayaking, or spending time with his wife Sally and six cats.

Stuart Field

Stuart Field

Professor Stuart Field has been interested in technology and science his whole life. While in school he built electronic circuits, telescopes, and computers. After attending Stanford University, he got a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, where he studied the properties of materials at ultralow temperatures. After completing a postdoctoral position at MIT, Stuart held a faculty position at the University of Michigan. Currently, at Colorado State University, Dr. Field teaches a variety of physics courses, including algebra-based introductory physics, and was an early and enthusiastic adopter of Knight’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers. He maintains an active research program in the area of superconductivity.

Building on the research-proven instructional techniques introduced in Knight’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers, College Physics: A Strategic Approach 3rd edition (PDF) sets a new standard for algebra-based introductory physics — gaining widespread critical acclaim from science students and professors alike. The textbook, MasteringPhysics and supplements work together to help physics students see and understand the big picture, gain crucial problem-solving confidence and skills, and better prepare for lecture and their future.

For the 3rd Edition, Brian Jones, Randall Knight, and Stuart Field have incorporated student feedback and research to strengthen their focus on college student learning, and to apply the best results from educational research and extensive user metadata and feedback

This program presents an unparalleled learning and teaching experience, uniquely effective and integrated.

  • Prepare for the lecture: Prepare students for a lecture with innovative and engaging media tools, tailored carefully to reinforce the textbook.
  • Develop problem-solving skills: Equip students with problem-solving tactics and strategies through expanded guidance and practice in the text and online in MasteringPhysics.
  • Understand the big picture: Enable college students to understand the connections between topics, the real-world context, and the overarching themes, skills, and principles of physics using refined and expanded learning tools.
  • Foster skills for the MCAT: Gear physics students up for the new MCAT with enhanced life-science and biomedical applications in the textbook and problems, and increased emphasis on reasoning with real-world situations and data.
  • Personalize learning with MasteringPhysics (sold separately): MasteringPhysics provides college students with engaging experiences that coach them through physics with specific wrong-answer feedback, hints, and a wide variety of educationally effective content.
