Physics for Engineers and Scientists

Physics for Engineers and Scientists

<p><strong>Designed for the introductory calculus-based physics course, <em>Physics for Engineers and Scientists</em> is distinguished by its lucid exposition and accessible coverage of fundamental physical concepts.</strong></p> The text presents a modern view of classical mechanics and electromagnetism for today's science and engineering students, including coverage of optics and quantum physics and emphasizing the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. <p>Organized to address specific concepts and then build on them, this highly readable text divides each chapter into short, focused sections followed by review questions. Using real-world examples, the authors offer a glimpse of the practical applications of physics in science and engineering, developing a solid conceptual foundation before introducing mathematical results and derivations (a basic knowledge of derivatives and integrals is assumed).</p>
