He subsequently served as a post-doc at the University of Pennsylvania, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of California at San Diego before joining the physics faculty at Western Washington University.
Professor Walker's research interests include statistical mechanics, critical phenomena, and chaos. His many publications on the application of renormalization-group theory to systems ranging from absorbed monolayers to binary-fluid mixtures have appeared in Physical Review, Physical Review Letters, Physica, and a host of other publications.
He has also participated in observations on the summit of Mauna Kea, looking for evidence of extra-solar planets. Jim Walker likes to work with students at all levels, from judging elementary school science fairs to writing research papers with graduate students, and has taught introductory physics for many years.
His enjoyment of this course and his empathy for students have earned him a reputation as an innovative, enthusiastic, and effective teacher. In recognition of his contributions to the teaching of physics at Western Washington University, Jim was named the Boeing Distinguished Professor of Science and Mathematics Education for When he is not writing, conducting research, teaching, or developing new classroom demonstrations and pedagogical materials, Jim enjoys amateur astronomy, eclipse chasing, bird and dragonfly watching, photography, juggling, unicycling, boogie boarding, and kayaking.
Jim is also an avid jazz pianist and organist. He has served as ballpark organist for a number of Class A minor league baseball teams, including the Bellingham Mariners, an affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.

James S. Walker, Western Washington University. The modules incorporate the best that the text, Mastering Physics and Learning Catalytics have to offer and can be accessed through the Instructor Resources area of Mastering. Learn more here. NEW - Ready-to-Go Study Tools in the Mastering Physics Study Area help students master the toughest topics as identified by professors and fellow students completing homework and practicing for exams.
Key Concept Videos, Interactive Worked Examples, and problem sets with answer-specific feedback are all-in-one and easy-to-navigate to keep students focused and give them the scaffolded support needed to succeed. Students can use Ready-to-Go Study Tools on their own, even when their professor doesn't assign the modules.
NEW - Enhanced End-of-Chapter Questions provide instructional support when and where students need it, including links to the eText, math remediation and wrong-answer feedback for homework assignments. Robust questions are all assignable in Mastering Physics.
The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media and on-line resources that enhance the understanding of physics. This book is written for students. It aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear, and to teach students by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying.
Physics is a description of reality, and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can directly relate to. We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic. Not only does this make the material more interesting and easier to understand, but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced.
Great effort has been made to keep important derivations and arguments on facing pages. Arrows over boldface symbols are now used to denote vectors in text and in art.
Provides consistency with the way students write vectors in homework and the way professors write vectors on the board. These multiple-choice questions at the beginning of each Chapter immediately engage students with key Chapter concepts, presenting common student misconceptions. Students revisit the COQs later in the Chapter, as an Exercise, to see if their answers have changed.
Answers to all Exercises are given at the end of the Chapter. Gives students an overview of Chapter topics without forcing them to turn back to the TOC. Added to many worked-out Examples after the Solution, these Notes sometimes remark on the solution itself, mention an application, or give an alternate approach to solving the problem. Integrated throughout the Chapters, Exercises give students a chance to check their understanding through practice before they proceed to other topics.
In most Chapters, with an optional introduction in Section , these are optional and often level III Problems grouped together at the end of most Chapters. These problems require a numerical solution, often requiring a computer, spreadsheet, or programmable calculator to do the sums.

Douglas C. He has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses, traditional as well as innovative ones, and continues to update his textbooks meticulously, seeking ways to better provide an understanding of physics for students.
He says climbing peaks is like learning physics: it takes effort and the rewards are great. We're sorry! We don't recognize your username or password. Please try again.
