Improving the Game
When it comes to teaching and learning physics, most pedagogical innovations were pioneered in Cutnell and Johnson's Physics--the number one algebra-based physics text for over a decade. With each new edition of Physics, Cutnell and Johnson have strived to improve the heart of the game--problem solving. Now in their new Seventh Edition, you can expect the same spirit of innovation that has made this text so successful.
Here's how the Seventh Edition continues to improve the game!
AMP Examples (Analyzing Multi-Concept Problems)
These unique new example problems show students how to combine different physics concepts algebraically to solve more difficult problems. AMP examples visually map-out why the different algebraic steps are needed and how to do the steps.
GO (Guided Online) Problems in WileyPLUS
These new multipart, online tutorial-style problems lead students through the key steps of solving the problems. Student responses to each problem step are recorded in the grade book, so the instructor can evaluate whether the student really has mastered the material.
WileyPLUS
WileyPLUS provides the technology needed to create an environment where students can reach their full potential and experience the exhilaration of academic success.
WileyPLUS gives students access to a complete online version of the text, study resources and problem-solving tutorials, and immediate feedback and context-sensitive help on assignments and quizzes.
WileyPLUS gives instructors homework management tools, lecture presentation resources, an online grade book, and more.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Don't be fooled and keep the receipt!
It's just physics questions in a book without any information on the topic being asked. Thought it would provide information on best approaches based on the type of question asked etc. I can find physics Q&A online for free, there is no benefit to the book.
Rating:  - overall pretty good
This book is pretty good. I would have given it 5 stars if it were't for two reasons, both of which are typical of physics textbooks.
1. Lack of solution manual. What's the use of problems when there are no solutions to check work?
2. Labeling problems by difficulty. Once again this is a flaw of all the physics textbooks I've seen. Sometimes these labels are inaccurate. Either way seeing problem labeled difficult intimidates the student, who may very well be capable of getting ... Read More
Rating: - Very clear and concise book
I used this book for an introductory Physics class and it was very helpful in supplementing my professors lectures. There are some really good pictures and diagrams to help in understanding various principles. It was very clear and concise. The algebra was more helpful than any other algebra book I've had, however the author did cut some corners in procedures which made it a bit hard to follow at times.
Rating: - A student who loved this book
This book was wonderful, and I read it from cover to cover. Like some other reviewers, I also think that most readers would benefit from some more examples of problem-solving in the text. I didn't personally find that troublesome, as I learn more effectively when I have to work at figuring it out myself. Although, it would have gone much faster with more examples. I took calculus in college, yet I took the algebra-based physics courses, as the calculus-based courses were taught by poor instructors. ... Read More
Rating: - A required text
I purchsed this book because it was required for my general physics class. According to my physics professor and personally trying to follow the process of problem solving, Cutnell and Johnson falls short. The sample problems lacked "showing work" and graphics to help a student absorb the sequence of problem solving. Their methods seem more elementary than the higher level expected in a college environment.
