Synopsis :

The new edition of this text which documents the latest developments and applications in the field is designed to allow flexibility when designing course syllabi and covers topics such as physics of architecture, 10-speed bikes, diffusion, bonding in molecules and solids, radiation dosimetry, cosmology and astrophysics and many more. New features of this edition include a new chapter on astrophysics and cosmology and special sections on problem solving, a discussion of molecules and solids, semiconductors and the solid state, an expanded treatment of how to use Newton's laws to solve problems. Other areas covered include heat and thermodynamics, vibration and sound, new applications such as TIA-temporary blood loops to the brain related to Bernoulli's principles, and Coriolis force. There are appendices on binomial expansion, trigonomic functions and identities, and Gauss's Law.

Biographie de l'auteur: Douglas C. Giancoli obtained his BA in physics (summa cum laude) from UC Berkeley, his MS in physics at MIT, and his PhD in elementary particle physics back at the UC Berkeley. He spent 2 years as a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley’s Virus lab developing skills in molecular biology and biophysics. His mentors include Nobel winners Emilio Segrè and Donald Glaser.

 

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.

 

Doug’s favorite spare-time activity is the outdoors, especially climbing peaks. He says climbing peaks is like learning physics: it takes effort and the rewards are great.
