About Modified Mastering Physics with...

This product is a digital access kit for Modified Mastering Physics with Pearson eText, designed to accompany Randall Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 5th Edition. It provides the complete eText plus the Mastering Physics online homework and assessment system, which uses research-based coaching, hints, and feedback to build conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. The 5th Edition adds quantitative entropy, viscosity and Poiseuille's equation, and Carnot efficiency details. The modified version is typically bundled for specific course configurations and may exclude certain chapters or features. Students gain 24/7 access to interactive tutorials, visualization tools, and a gradebook, while instructors can assign auto-graded problems and track performance. This is a non-returnable access code, not a print textbook.

Who should read Modified Mastering Physics with...?

This is intended for undergraduate students enrolled in calculus-based introductory physics courses, especially those whose instructors require Mastering Physics assignments and eText access. It suits physics, engineering, and pre-med majors who need a rigorous, research-driven approach with scaffolded problem-solving practice. Instructors adopting Knight's 5th Edition will find the platform useful for auto-graded homework and analytics. Students who prefer a digital, interactive learning experience and need the modified version specified by their course will benefit most.
