Physics 112 Spring 2022 Textbook Information

You will need two items for this course: the textbook and the on-line component. If you bought the full-year package for Fall 2021 for Phys 111, then you should be all set and not need anything else.

Text and Online Component

The textbook is College Physics: A Strategic Approach, 4th edition by Randall D. Knight, Brian Jones, and Stuart Field. Both print and e-text versions are available. The on-line component is Modified Mastering Physics.

At the publisher's website, you can find various bundles, depending on whether you prefer a printed copy of the text or an e-text, and whether you will be taking just one semester. You will also be able to purchase, activate, and access your account from our Moodle site. Click on the 'MyLab & Mastering Tools -- Mastering Physics' link within that Moodle site to get started.

Wherever you purchase your materials, be sure to follow the instructions for registering through our Moodle site. You do not need a Course ID. When you register through our Moodle site, you will automatically be registered for the correct course.

If you are considering buying a used text or a text from another source, be aware that you still will need to buy the on-line Modified Mastering part. You will likely find a confusing array of ISBN numbers that refer to different packages of the text with various optional components. The only required parts are the text itself (4th edition) and the on-line Modified Mastering component. The ISBN number for the hard-copy of the full text is

Lab Materials
