Summary

For nearly 30 years, Paul Tipler'sPhysics for Scientists and Engineershas set the standard in the introductory calculus-based physics course for clarity, accuracy and precision. In this Fifth Edition, Gene Mosca brings his years of teaching to bear on the text, to scrutinize every explanation and example from the perspective of the freshman student. The result is a teaching tool that retains its precision and rigor, but offers struggling students the support they need to solve problems strategically and to gain real understanding of physical concepts. Binding Options For instructor and student convenience, the Fifth Edition ofPhysics for Scientists and Engineersis available in five paperback volumes.... Vol. 1A: Mechanics(Chapters 1-13) 2004, 0-7167-0900-7 Vol. 1B: Oscillations and Waves; Thermodynamics(Chapters 14-20) 2004, 0-7167-0903-1 Vol. 2A: Electricity(Chapters 21-25) 2004, 0-7167-0902-3 Vol. 2B: Electrodynamics; Light(Chapters 26-33) 2004, 0-7167-0901-5 Vol. 2C: Elementary Modern Physics(Chapters 34-41) 2004, 0-7167-0906-6 or in two hardcover volumes: Volume 1: Mechanics, Oscillations and Waves; Thermodynamics(Chapters 1-20 and Relativity minichapter): 2004, 0-7167-0809-4 Volume 2: Electricity, Magnetism, Light, and Elementary Modern Physics(Chapters 21-41): 2004, 0-7167-0810-8 or a standard or extended hardcover edition: Standard (first 4 volumes 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B), 2004, 0-7167-8339-8 Extended (all 5 volumes 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, and 2C), 2004, 0-7167-4389-2
