Physics for Scientists and Engineers – Randall Knight – 1st Edition

Description

The superior problem-solving pedagogy of Physics for Scientists and Engineers uses a detailed, methodical approach that sequentially builds students’ skills and confidence so they are better equipped to tackle more complex problems.

Knight combines rigorous quantitative coverage with a descriptive, inductive approach that leads to a deeper student understanding of the core concepts. Pictorial, graphical, algebraic, and descriptive representations for each concept are skillfully combined to provide a resource that students with different learning styles can readily grasp.

The research-proven media package features MasteringPhysics™, an online student tutorial and assignable homework program that helps students develop problem-solving skills and lets instructors know where their students are having trouble.
