Physics: Principles With Applications (Book and Access Card)

Physics: Principles With Applications (Book and Access Card) by Giancoli, Douglas. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780321625915.

Key Benefit: Elegant, engaging, exacting, and concise, Giancolis Physics: Principles with Applications with MasteringPhysics(R), Seventh Edition, helps readers view the world through eyes that know physics. Giancolis book is a trusted classic, known for its elegant writing, clear presentation, and quality of content. Starting with concrete observations and experiences students can relate to, the text then moves on to the great generalizations of physics. This approach demonstrates why we believe what we believe and reflects the way science is practiced. Written with the goal of giving readers a thorough understanding of all of the basic concepts of physics, the book uses interesting applications to biology, medicine, architecture, and digital technology to show readers how useful physics is in their own everyday lives and in their future professions.
