W. H. Freeman and WebAssign
Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Tipler and Mosca is now available as a WebAssign Premium product...designed to provide you with the most powerful online homework solution to complement your course...and your students with a fully interactive and affordable learning experience!
WebAssign Premium includes over 4,200 online homework problems, interactive tutorials and resources, a customizable eBook and an integrated student solutions manual at one low price. Students interested in purchasing a printed textbook can order one directly from their WebAssign course page, at a considerable savings (in some cases, less than half the cost of a used textbook!).
You can check out a sampling of this exciting new product line in the simulated assignment below, designed to show you a range of problem-types and features found in WebAssign Premium. To see even more of this powerful product, sign up for a Free Test Drive today and see how WebAssign Premium can help your students get more mileage out of the course today!
Problem 1: Every problem from the text (over 4,200!) is available to assign, with algorithmic variables where appropriate. Every problem includes a link to the appropriate section of a complete interactive eBook, (also available through a dynamic table of contents from their WebAssign homepage), allowing students to highlight and take notes as they read.
Instructors can easily customize any aspect of the eBook, from including their own notes to rewriting entire sections to match their lectures, providing students with a completely cohesive learning experience.
Every problem includes a line of helpful, problem-specific feedback to help students check their understanding.
Problem 2: Where appropriate, animated simulations are available to students, allowing them to manipulate values to help visualize essential physics concepts.
Problem 3: Many problems include detailed stepped-out solutions, using the same problem-solving strategies and design as the text worked examples. The detailed solutions, available to students at each instructor's discretion, use the same algorithmic values assigned in the problem, further driving problem-solving mastery.
Every solution found in the printed student's solutions manuals is available interactively in WebAssign Premium, saving your students even more money!
Problem 4: Complete student tutorials are available to help students as hints from within applicable problems...
Problem 5: ...and as stand-alone assignable problems as well. These tutorials, developed and class-tested over years by the University of Illinois Physics Education Group, step students through a series of sub-questions to drive students to a stronger conceptual understanding.
Problem 6: Many questions use WebAssign's PencilPad, which allow students to draw their sketches online and compare their response to an accurate free body diagram manual or an algorithmically generated plot. Students' submissions are stored so instructors can check their work.

This demo assignment allows many submissions and allows you to try another version of the same question for practice wherever the problem has randomized values.
