The book "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" is an internationally recognized textbook of Physics, which can be used in scientific and engineering curricula. It presents the fundamental concepts and principles of Physics in a simple, concise, and understandable manner and—along with the multitude of selected examples and exercises it contains—helps students comprehend and delve deeper into these concepts.
The entire material of the work can be taught in a course lasting three or four semesters, but by omitting selected chapters and sections, the material can also be covered in a shorter time frame. This volume of the work covers Electricity and Magnetism, Light and Optics, and Modern Physics.
The pedagogical features of the book: In the 8th American edition of "Physics for Scientists and Engineers," numerous changes and improvements have been made based on the authors' extensive teaching experience and current trends in scientific education.
Images: A multitude of color images facilitate the understanding of the concepts and principles described in the text. Each image has been revised to convey the physical principles it describes with absolute clarity and accuracy.
Problem-solving methodology: In the corresponding section of each chapter, students are provided with a structured problem-solving process which is consistently followed in the solved problems of all chapters.
Avoiding pitfalls: In these special frames, at selected points in each chapter, the most common misconceptions in Physics are highlighted.
Quick questions: These allow students to immediately check if they have understood the concepts presented in the chapters of the book.
Examples: The presentation of the material in each chapter is accompanied by selected examples that strictly follow the Problem-solving methodology, so that students become accustomed to using an effective method for solving problems.
And if...? This question at the end of the solution of selected examples offers an alternative version of the situation described in the problem statement, encourages students to think about the outcomes of the example, and helps them gain a deeper understanding of the basic principles.
Problems: Each chapter is accompanied by a wealth of problems of varying levels of difficulty. The authors' goal is to "...make the study of Physics not only beneficial but also an exciting and enjoyable experience for the student."
