As a market leader, PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS is one of the most powerful brands in the physics market. However, rather than resting on that reputation, the new edition of this text marks a significant advance in the already excellent quality of the book. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
I have to say that I liked volume one better. Oh sure, all of your favorite characters, like mass and gravitation, velocity, acceleration and angular momentum show up in this volume, but they are rather overshadowed by some young upstarts like electric field and capacitance. The romance between electricity and magnetism is enough to spark a little interest, but I'm afraid it is headed towards a shocking conclusion.
I learned that it costs 36 dollars to provide Electricity to a major metropolitan city. This is shown in the chapter of Alternating Current. I've always enjoyed the joke where the mechanic says that I got my particles and waves mixed up. Overall this book should be used for high school students, the calculus is rather elementary, and the proofs are straightforward.
