Douglas C. Giancoli Knihy

The new edition of this text which documents the latest developments and applications in the field is designed to allow flexibility when designing course syllabi and covers topics such as physics of architecture, 10-speed bikes, diffusion, bonding in molecules and solids, radiation dosimetry, cosmology and astrophysics and many more. cosmology and special sections on problem solving, a discussion of molecules and solids, semiconductors and the solid state, an expanded treatment of how to use Newton's laws to solve problems. Other areas covered include heat and thermodynamics, vibration and sound, new applications such as TIA-temporary blood loops to the brain related to Bernoulli's principles, and Coriolis force. There are appendices on binomial expansion, trigonomic functions and identities, and Gauss's Law.

For the calculus-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors (including physics majors). This long-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli's reputation for creating carefully crafted, highly accurate and precise physics texts. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics. The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media and on-line resources that enhance the understanding of physics. This book is written for students. It aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear, and to teach students by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying. Physics is a description of reality, and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can directly relate to. We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic. Not only does this make the material more interesting and easier to understand, but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced.

Physik gilt nach wie vor als wichtigste Grundlage für eine ganze Reihe von Wissenschaften von den Natur- über die Technik- bis zu den Ingenieurwissenschaften. Der Giancoli ist langjährig in der Lehre erprobt und bietet die gesamte Fülle von den klassischen bis zu den modernen Themen der Physik in einem Band. Die komplett farbige Ausstattung des Lehrwerks erleichtert das Verständnis der zahlreichen Abbildungen und Fotografien. Jedes Kapitel bietet neben vielen durchgerechneten Beispielen, zusätzlichen Aufgaben und Lösungen eine verständliche Zusammenfassung des jeweiligen Fachgebiets. Auf der zum Buch gehörenden Website befinden sich die kompletten Lösungswege zu fast über 3000 Aufgaben aus dem Buch. Zudem wurden für das Selbststudium und zur Vertiefung Verknüpfungen zu weiteren Aufgaben aus den Tutorien zur Physik (978-3-8273-7322-9) eingepflegt.
