This title is a Pearson Global Edition. Theeditorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world toinclude content which is especially relevant to an international and diverseaudience. Forcourses in introductory calculus-based physics. Precise.Highly accurate. Carefully crafted. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy and a clear and directnarrative with applications that draw the student into the physics at hand. Thetext gives students a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of physicsin all its aspects, from mechanics to modern physics. Each topic begins withconcrete observations and experiences that students can relate to theireveryday lives and future professions, and then moves to generalizations andthe more formal aspects of the physics to show why we believe what webelieve. The 5thEdition presents a wide range of new applications including thephysics of digital, added approaches for practical problem-solving techniques,and new Pearson Mastering Physics resources that enhance the understanding ofphysics. Pearson Mastering-« Physics is not included. Students, if Pearson MasteringPhysics is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask yourinstructor for the correct ISBN. Pearson Mastering Physics should only bepurchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearsonrepresentative for more information.

Douglas C. Giancoli obtained his BA in physics (summa cum laude) from UC Berkeley, his MS in physics at MIT, and his PhD in elementary particle physics back at UC Berkeley. He spent 2 years as a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley's Virus lab developing skills in molecular biology and biophysics. His mentors include Nobel winners Emilio Segre and Donald Glaser. He has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses, traditional as well as innovative ones, and continues to update his textbooks meticulously, seeking ways to better provide an understanding of physics for students. Doug's favorite spare-time activity is the outdoors, especially climbing peaks. He says climbing peaks is like learning physics: it takes effort and the rewards are great.
