Synopsis

This Study Guide accompanies the second edition of "Physics for Scientists and Engineers". The second edition emphasizes the conceptual unity of physics while providing a solid approach to helping students to solve problems. Skills are developed through end-of-chapter problems and a number of pedagogical aids, including "tips" boxes, in-chapter exercises, references within examples to related problems found at the ends of chapters, "strategy" boxes, extended summaries, paired problems to strengthen problem-solving skills, and cumulative problems to integrate concepts across several chapters. Included are photographs and line illustrations to assist students in visualizing concepts. Also featured is a bookmark listing important formulae and an index to the pedagogical use of colour found throughout the book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For the calculus-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors (including physics majors).

 

This long-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli's reputation for creating carefully crafted, highly accurate and precise physics texts. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the 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.
