University Physics 13E by Young International Edition Different?

In summary, the international edition of University Physics 13E by Young is intended for distribution outside of the United States while the regular edition is for distribution within the United States. The cover design and minor content changes to accommodate international units of measurement are the main differences between the two editions. However, students in the United States can still use the international edition without it affecting their understanding or learning. The problem sets and examples are typically the same in both editions, with only slight changes in numbers or order. It is legal to use the international edition in the United States, but it is important to purchase from a reputable source. There are no major differences in content between the international and regular editions, with the core concepts and theories remaining the same.

Hello there,
I'm trying to find out if anyone has specific experience with the international edition of
University Physics With Modern Physics by Young/Freedman. I know that usually international textbooks have the same content as the U.S. but I'm worried that the units in this will be in SI and that the U.S. edition's won't.
Anyone know?
Thanks,
EFR

I've never seen Young's 13th, but I can tell you that US physics textbooks have been using SI units for decades. For example, my 9th edition of Young uses them.
