This introductory physics textbook has two main objectives: to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics and to strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications to the real world. To meet these objectives, we have placed emphasis on sound physical arguments and problem…
A GENERAL PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY is outlined early in the text. This strategy provides a series of steps similar to those taken by professional physicists in solving problems. This problem solving strategy is integrated into the Coached Problems (within PhysicsNow) to reinforce this key skill. A large number of authoritative and highly realistic WORKED EXAMPLES promote interactivity an…
In writing this eighth edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers, we continue our ongoing efforts to improve the clarity of presentation and include new pedagogical features that help support the learning and teaching processes. Drawing on positive feedback from users of the seventh edition, data gathered from both professors and students who use Enhanced WebAssign, as well as reviewe…
