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.
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.
