For nearly 30 years, Paul Tipler's 'Physics for Scientists and Engineers' has set the standard for science and engineering students taking introductory physics courses. This 5th edition introduces co-author Gene P. Mosca, resulting in a teaching tool that retains its clarity, precision and rigour, but also offers students the support they need to solve problems strategically and to gain real understanding of physical concepts.New features include enhanced worked examples including some new 'Plausibility checks' and 'Put it in Context' examples where each chapter contains one or more 'context-rich' worked examples that state the problem indirectly. Drawing on their extensive classroom experiences, the authors identify and address common misconceptions about physics, adding twenty percent new end-of-chapter problems and new Estimation/Approximation Problems to test conceptual understanding. The new edition also includes additional engineering and biological applications, totally revised and expanded solutions and improved photo and artwork to provide a more student friendly approach.
