Physics for Scientists & Engineers v 3

Appropriate for both scientists and engineers. Acomprehensive introduction to calculus-based physics which presents balance between theory andapplications, between concepts and problem-solving, between mathematics and physics, andfinally, between technology and traditional pedagogical methods. Maintainstheoretical coverage, but supplements it with applications boxes, on topics such as:timed traffic lights, jet engines, simple machines, drag racing, flight navigator, cranes,quartz watches, smoke detectors, capacitors as power sources for laptop computers, televisionantennas, and fiber optics. Places emphasis on concepts, showing the motivation for thephysics. This conceptual emphasis has been maintained, but supporting problem-solvingapparatus has been dramatically revised. All mathematics in the book is self-contained, andmajor mathematical tools are introduced as needed. Vectors, a topic that requires a lot ofpractice, are covered in depth.
