About the Book

For courses in introductory calculus-based physics

Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy and a clear and direct narrative with applications that draw the student into the physics at hand. The text gives students a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of physics in all its aspects, from mechanics to modern physics. Each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can relate to their everyday lives and future professions, and then moves to generalisations and the more formal aspects of physics to show why we believe, what we believe.

The 5th Edition presents a wide range of new applications including the physics of digital and added approaches for practical problem-solving techniques.



Table of Contents:

About the Author :
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 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 Segre 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 favourite 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.
