physics for scientists and engineers volume one and two by Giancoli, softcover

* Item Description

For the calculus-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors (including physics majors).

Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics. 

Giancoli crafted a highly accurate and precise physics textbook. 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.
