Physics for Scientists & Engineers With Modern Physics

Watch out! This is presented as Modern Physics for Scientists but it is not. It is only Volume Two. Look ultra carefully of you'll be fooled. Shame on you.

Needed it for one semester, and got it about a week after I ordered it. There was no writing in it, and so I didn’t have to take any time erasing a ton of stuff.

This is an older text, but the contents are as useful today as it was when first published decades ago. Doc

This book covers many of physics fundamentals. It is very helpful in learning with examples and the diagrams used so you can visually see what is going on in a system.

vey good book

good book

i ordered my item hoping to get it before classes started and it never even shipped. i've waited 3 week for the "window of shipment" to pass so i can buy from someone else. Seller never returned any of my emails questioning my item's status. Do not buy anything from this seller, it is a waste of your time and there are plenty of other sellers.

This book, if studied and used in a course for beginners, is by far one of the best intro physics books ever made. I think that the 2nd edition is close to being the best, because it has so many applications and example problems often not seen in many intro physics books. Also, the author takes the time to explain ALL the concepts thoroughly. He does this slowly and builds on one related subject to the next. Further, he has so many wonderful in-text example problems that brilliantly illustrate concepts....I love how he explains the integral in chapter 2 in the 2nd edition. That said, this is for students with at least a Calculus I background. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with any less of a mathematical background, unless you're willing to work hard to understand some of the calculus concepts--most are just simple derivatives, integrals, and limits--even then, the author attempts to explain those concepts.I think that what stands this book apart from most other physics books of its type is that the author tries, and succeeds very well in my opinion, to explain the concepts as thoroughly as possible and not let the student infer things. Many, many physics books glaze over subjects and let students "draw their own conclusions"...hopefully the correct conclusions, and if not they can ask the instructor of their physics course for the right conclusion. So, many intro physics books are NOT self-contained texts. They are merely supplements to a college physics course involving an instructor. This book, with the dedicated student, could teach intro physics on its own! So, it's more of a reference book. Later editions of his wonderful text cut down on the material covered and some of the examples and applications in order to conform with being a supplement to a course. So, I highly suggest you get the 2nd edition or the 3rd edition, no higher.

A straightforward, extremely well written exposition of physics at a calculus-based university level.The book is organized in a classical order of topics, very well illustrated, superbly written, contains many excellent exercises, the writing is clear and concise. Probably the best among its peers.
