Physics for Scientists & Engineers with Modern Physics, Books a la Carte Plus Mastering Physics by Douglas Giancoli

Douglas C.Giancoli received his BA in physics (summa cum laude), MA in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and PhD in elementary particle physics from the University of California, Berkeley. He spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Virology lab at UC Berkeley, honing his molecular biology and biophysics expertise. Nobel Laureates Emilio Segre and Donald Glaser are among his mentors. He has taught a variety of undergraduate courses, both standard and innovative, and he is always updating his textbooks in order to provide students with a better grasp of physics. Doug's favorite pastime is being outside, particularly climbing peaks. Climbing peaks, he argues, is similar to understanding physics in that it requires work but pays off handsomely.
