Physics for Scientists and Engineers

Synopsis of Physics for Scientists and Engineers

Paul Tipler's 'Physics for Scientists and Engineers' is the standard textbook for calculus-based introductory physics courses taken by science and engineering students. Now in its fourth edition, the work has been extensively revised, with entirely new artwork, updated examples and new pedagogical features. Twentieth-century developments such as quantum mechanics are introduced early on, so that students can appreciate their importance and see how they fit into the bigger picture.
