Physics
Year after year, edition after edition, this has been the introductory textbook of choice for hundreds of institutions nationwide. Throughout the text, sequential figures of complicated derivations help students visualize the abstract-providing them with the kind of logical continuity too often lacking in other introductory texts. Over 2600 end-of-chapter problems are included, arranged in groups and labeled by chapter and section for easy reference. Beiser is sensitive to the realities of student mathematical preparation and includes an appendix on useful mathematics. This text speaks directly and clearly to the students, giving them all the information they need in a way they can follow. This combination provides a text that is complete, clear, conversational, and logical.

He was a Senior Research Scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University, where he focused on cosmic rays and magnetohydrodynamics in geophysics and astrophysics . He worked both theoretically and experimentally, taking part in expeditions to the observation of cosmic rays and magnetic phenomena to Alaska and the Pacific.
He is a Fellow of the Explorers Club and chaired the Explorers Club's Committee on Space Exploration .
Beiser is known for numerous physics textbooks, but also published books on geology and sailing (he is a passionate sailor who sailed around Cape Horn and twice crossed the Atlantic in his sailing boat). His wife Germaine Beiser is also an author and co-author of physics textbooks.
