Physics for Scientists and Engineers Summary

Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics by Randall Knight

A research-driven approach, fine-tuned for even greater ease-of-use and student success

For the Fourth Edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Knight continues to build on strong research-based foundations with fine-tuned and streamlined content, hallmark features, and an even more robust MasteringPhysics program, taking student learning to a new level. By extending problem-solving guidance to include a greater emphasis on modeling and significantly revised and more challenging problem sets, students gain confidence and skills in problem solving. A modified Table of Contents and the addition of advanced topics now accommodate different teaching preferences and course structures.

Note: This is the standalone book, if you want the Book/Access Card order the ISBN below:

ALERT: Before you purchase, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a CourseID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products.

About Randall Knight

About our author

Randy Knight taught introductory physics for 32 years at Ohio State University and California Polytechnic University; where he is Professor Emeritus of Physics. Professor Knight received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California; Berkeley and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics before joining the faculty at Ohio State University. It was at Ohio State that he began to learn about the research in physics education that; many years later; led to Five Easy Lessons: Strategies for Successful Physics Teaching and this book; as well as College Physics: A Strategic Approach; co-authored with Brian Jones and Stuart Field. Professor Knight's research interests are in the field of laser spectroscopy and environmental science. When he's not in front of a computer; you can find Randy hiking; sea kayaking; playing the piano; or spending time with his wife Sally and their six cats.
