Our textbook is Conceptual Physics Fundamentals, by Paul G. Hewitt (ISBN 978-0-321-50136-3 or 0-321-50136-5). This custom, paperback version of Hewitt's text, will save you $50 or more over the unabridged version (an alternative textbook is listed below). You may find used copies of our text published with an alternative cover photo, shown here.

If you purchase a new copy of our text at a local bookstore, a supplement to the text has been enclosed by the publisher (Pearson Addison Wesley) at no extra cost to you.

Practice Book
an optional supplement
NOT required
(A cover image of the Practice Book will go here)
The Practice Book contains the answers to all of the odd-numbered exercises and problems in the text, as well as a set of workbook style activities (with solutions) which are coordinated with our textbook. You may find that the Practice Book is quite useful when studying for our tests, but none of the workbook activities within the Practice Book will be assigned for credit; therefore, the Practice Book is supplemental material, and is NOT required.

Conceptual Physics Tenth Edition
Here are reading assignments from this alternative textbook.

The local bookstores also have a few copies of the used textbook, packaged without the practice book; the practice book is completely optional, so the used textbook alone will provide you access to all required material.

If you happen to have a copy of Hewitt's Conceptual Physics (10th or 11th Edition), that will serve suitably as an alternative textbook. Here are links to the reading assignments from the 10th edition and from the 11th edition; these alternative reading assignments are by topic (but not by date).

Conceptual Physics Eleventh Edition
Here are reading assignments from this alternative textbook.

Finally, here are the reading assignments from the twelfth edition (i.e. the present edition of the larger textbook).

Conceptual Physics Twelfth Edition

For those students who like to read screens, the Twelfth Edition also has an etext available, which you should be able to buy from Pearson or from Amazon.
