Physics for Scientists & Engineers with Modern Physics (4th Edition)
ISBN: 0131495089 Binding: Hardcover Edition: 4 Author(s): Douglas C. Giancoli Publisher: Prentice Hall Number of Pages: 1328
Key Message: This book aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear and to teach readers by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifyingPhysics is a description of reality and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that readers 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 Key Topics: INTRODUCTION MEASUREMENT ESTIMATING DESCRIBING MOTION: KINEMATICS IN ONE DIMENSION KINEMATICS IN TWO OR THREE DIMENSIONS; VECTORS DYNAMICS: NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION USING NEWTONS LAWS: FRICTION CIRCULAR MOTION DRAG FORCES GRAVITATION AND NEWTONS6 SYNTHESIS WORK AND ENERGY CONSERVATION OF ENERGY LINEAR MOMENTUM ROTATIONAL MOTION ANGULAR MOMENTUM; GENERAL ROTATION STATIC EQUILIBRIUM; ELASTICITY AND FRACTURE FLUIDS OSCILLATIONS WAVE MOTION SOUND TEMPERATURE THERMAL EXPANSION AND THE IDEAL GAS LAW KINETIC THEORY OF GASES HEAT AND THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS ELECTRIC CHARGE AND ELECTRIC FIELD GAUSSS LAW ELECTRIC POTENTIAL CAPACITANCE DIELECTRICS ELECTRIC ENERGY STORAGE ELECTRIC CURRENTS AND RESISTANCE DC CIRCUITS MAGNETISM SOURCES OF MAGNETIC FIELD ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION AND FARADAYS LAW INDUCTANCE ELECTROMAGNETIC OSCILLATIONS AND AC CIRCUITS MAXWELLS EQUATIONS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES LIGHT: REFLECTION AND REFRACTION LENSES AND OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS THE WAVE NATURE OF LIGHT; INTERFERENCE DIFFRACTION AND POLARIZATION SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY EARLY QUANTUM THEORY AND MODELS OF THE ATOM QUANTUM MECHANICS QUANTUM MECHANICS OF ATOMS MOLECULES AND SOLIDS NUCLEAR PHYSICS AND RADIOACTIVITY NUCLEAR ENERGY: EFECTS AND USES OF RADIATION ELEMENTARY PARTICLESASTROPHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY Market Description: This book is written for readers interested in learning the basics of physics
ISBN: 0470547898 Binding: Hardcover Edition: Volume 1 Author(s): David Halliday, Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker Publisher: Wiley Number of Pages: 608
The new Ninth Edition of Halliday Resnick and Walkers Principles of Physics has been strategically revised to focus on engaging students supporting critical thinking and moving students to the next level of physics understandingKey to the Ninth Editions support for critical thinking and development of understanding physics concepts is Jearl Walkers modern voice Jearl Walker is both an active teacher who understands the challenges faced in todays classroom and a world renowned communicator of science to the general public His Flying Circus of Physics is a cult classic among physics students and instructors and material from this book is integrated throughout the Ninth Edition to catch students attention engage them and encourage them to solve the underlying real world physics phenomenon and concepts before they begin the more quantitative portion of the content or problem
Integration of The Flying Circus of Physics Material from The Flying Circus is incorporated into the chapter opener puzzlers Sample Problems text examples and end-of-chapter problems to make the subject more interesting and engaging and to show students that the world around them can be examined and understood using the fundamental principles of physics Links to The Flying Circus material are identified throughout the text with a biplane icon
Checkpoints offer stopping points so students can check their understanding of a question with some reasoning based on the narrative or sample problem they just read
Sample problems are chosen to demonstrate how problems can be solved with reasoned solutions rather than quick and simplistic plugging of numbers into an equation with no regard for what the equation means
Key Ideas in the sample problems focus a student on the basic concepts at the root of the solution to a problem
