The first volume of a two-volume text that helps students understand physics concepts and scientific problem-solving Volume 1 of the Fundamentals of Physics, 11th Edition helps students embark on an understanding of physics. This loose-leaf text covers a full range of topics, including: measurement, vectors, motion, and force. It also discusses energy, rotation, equilibrium, gravitation, and oscillations as well temperature and heat. The First and Second Law of Thermodynamics are presented, as is the Kinetic Theory of Gases. The text problems, questions, and provided solutions guide students in improving their problem-solving skills.

This book arms engineers with the tools to apply key physics concepts in the field. A number of the key figures in the new edition are revised to provide a more inviting and informative treatment. The figures are broken into component parts with supporting commentary so that they can more readily see the key ideas. Material from The Flying Circus is incorporated into the chapter opener puzzlers, sample problems, examples and end-of-chapter problems to make the subject more engaging. Checkpoints enable them to check their understanding of a question with some reasoning based on the narrative or sample problem they just read. Sample Problems also demonstrate how engineers can solve problems with reasoned solutions. INCLUDES PARTS 1-4 PART 5 IN FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS, EXTENDED

The classic textbook that builds scientific literacy and logical reasoning ability Principles of Physics, now in its 11th edition, is renowned for teaching students, not just the basic concepts of physics, but also the superior problem-solving skills needed to apply what they have learned. With thematic modules and clear learning objectives, students will never be left asking, “Why am I learning this?” End-of-chapter questions range from the mathematically challenging to the conceptually complex, to truly instill in students a working knowledge of calculus-based physics. This new edition features problems that represent a “best of” selection reaching all the way back to the book’s first publication. The strongest and most interesting questions from all the Principles of Physics editions will challenge and stimulate students as they learn how the world works. Altogether, this user-friendly text is peerless in its ability to help students build scientific literacy and physics skill.

A beloved introductory physics textbook, now including exercises and an answer key, explains the concepts essential for thorough scientific understanding In this concise book, R. Shankar, a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, explains the essential concepts of Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, waves, fluids, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. Now in an expanded edition—complete with problem sets and answers for course use or self-study—this work provides an ideal introduction for college-level students of physics, chemistry, and engineering; for AP Physics students; and for general readers interested in advances in the sciences. The book begins at the simplest level, develops the basics, and reinforces fundamentals, ensuring a solid foundation in the principles and methods of physics.

This book is the first of a three-volume series written by the same author. It aims to deliver a comprehensive and self-contained account of the fundamentals of the physics of solids. In the presentation of the properties and experimentally observed phenomena together with the basic concepts and theoretical methods, it goes far beyond most classic texts. The essential features of various experimental techniques are also explained. The text provides material for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses. It will also be a valuable reference for researchers in the field of condensed matter physics.

Fundamentals of Physics, 10th Edition, Volume 1 contains Chapters 1 - 20. Access to WileyPLUS is not included with this textbook. The 10th edition of Halliday, Resnick and Walkers Fundamentals of Physics provides the perfect solution for teaching a 2 or 3 semester calc-based physics course, providing instructors with a tool by which they can teach students how to effectively read scientific material, identify fundamental concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve quantitative problems. The 10th edition builds upon previous editions by offering new features designed to better engage students and support critical thinking. These include NEW Video Illustrations that bring the subject matter to life, NEW Vector Drawing Questions that test student's conceptual understanding, and additional multimedia resources (videos and animations) that provide an alternative pathway through the material for those who struggle with reading scientific exposition.

This updated edition covers the fundamentals of physics with greater stress on unifying wave theme and quantum ideas. Attention is given to practical applications as well as historical and philosophical background. Figures and illustrations have been improved and expanded, and sections within chapters have been rearranged to provide more flexibility for the instructor. Expanded to include seven new chapters on such topics as atomic structure and physics, electrical conduction in solids, and nuclear physics. Greater emphasis is given to SI units in accordance with their increasing use.

Black & white print. University Physics is a three-volume collection that meets the scope and sequence requirements for two- and three-semester calculus-based physics courses. Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves. Volume 2 covers thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism. Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics. This textbook emphasizes connections between theory and application, making physics concepts interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result.
