Physics for Engineers and Scientists

About this book

The text presents a modern view of classical mechanics and electromagnetism for todays science and engineering students including coverage of optics and quantum physics and emphasizing the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. 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).
