Physics for Scientists & Engineers with Modern Physics by Douglas Giancoli

Physics for Scientists & Engineers with Modern Physics by Douglas Giancoli

&>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.

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.
