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. *Strong problem solving guidance, developing the ability to solve a variety of problems is crucial in the calculus-based physics course. The Third Edition addresses this need in several ways *Physics is a difficult subject that can be made more accessible through the use of pedagogical tools *In physics, the ability to create sketches and diagrams is a critical problem-solving skill. Many students are also visual learners, and clear, instructive photographs and illustrations are necessary to aid understanding of the physics *Use of full colour throughout provides a powerful device for illustrating vectors and other important physics conventions *Many new topics have been incorporated-such as: the Otto cycle, lens combinations, three-phase alternating current, and many more! *New developments and discoveries in physics have been added including-the Hubble space telescope, age and inflation of the universe, and distant planets *Hundreds of new applications woven through the text including-Air Bags, Bungee Jumping, Autofocusing Camera, Ultrasound Imaging, CD Players, Computer Memory, Power in Household Circuits, and many, many more! *Dedicated, award-winning text-specific Website with classroom management system. This innovative on-line resource provides students with a wealth of activities and exercises for each text chapter. Features on the site include: *Practice Questions, Destinations (links to related sites), NetSearch keywords, and algorithmically generated numeric Practice Problems *Physlet Problems (Java-applet simulations) *Warmups and Puzzles essay questions and Applications *Ranking Task Exercises. *Using Prentice Hall CW '99 technology, the site grades and scores all objective questions, and results can be automatically e-mailed directly to the instructors if so desired. Instructors can also create customized syllabi on-line and link directly to activities on the Giancoli website
