About the Author :
Raymond A. Serway is an emeritus professor at James Madison University. He earned his doctorate at Illinois Institute of Technology. Among his accolades, he has received an honorary doctorate degree from his alma mater, Utica College, the 1990 Madison Scholar Award at James Madison University where he taught for 17 years, the 1977 Distinguished Teaching Award at Clarkson University and the 1985 Alumni Achievement Award from Utica College. As a Guest Scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, Dr. Serway worked with K. Alex Müller, who shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics. He was also a visiting scientist at Argonne National Laboratory where he collaborated with his mentor and friend, the late Sam Marshall. Dr. Serway is the co-author of "Physics For Scientists and Engineers: College Physics"; "Principles of Physics"; "Essentials of College Physics"; "Modern Physics" and the high school textbook, "Physics," published by Holt McDougal. He has published more than 40 research papers in the field of condensed matter physics and has given more than 60 presentations at professional meetings. Chris Vuille (Ph.D., University of Florida) is a professor of physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world's premier institution for aviation higher education. While he has taught courses at all levels, including postgraduate, his primary interest is the teaching of introductory physics courses. He conducts research in general relativity, astrophysics, cosmology and quantum theory and was a participant in a special 3-year NASA grant program where he studied properties of neutron stars. His work has appeared in many scientific journals and in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact magazine. He is the co-author of COLLEGE PHYSICS and ESSENTIALS OF COLLEGE PHYSICS.. John Hughes is Chair of Physical Sciences and Professor of Engineering Physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. As an experimentalist interested in space and plasma physics, he has worked on projects supported by the National Science Foundation and the Air Force and Naval Research Laboratories. He has published more than 20 research papers in scientific journals and has given many presentations at professional meetings. Dr. Hughes has been teaching for more than 15 years and currently focuses most of his professional efforts on student success in introductory physics courses.
