Physics for Scientists & Engineers with Modern Physics

by Douglas C. Giancoli

&>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.

I haven't logged any textbooks so far, but because of the amount of blood and sweat I put into this book and the Physics 1-2 exams, AND NOT BECAUSE I FUCKING NAILED THEM, I sincerely felt this little book deserved a spot on my shelf. Giancoli does a solid job at simplifying and explaining concepts with smart and clear examples. And has a sufficient solution manual for end-chapter exercises which are pretty great. Even though I'm pretty sure that this will be our last rendezvous, it was a pleasure sir.

Good textbook for self-learners. Took a while to get through but I enjoyed most of it.

Though it does not cover some harder topics in detail, this book had the best explaining on concepts I've ever read on a physics textbook
