Physics for Engineers and Scientists

by Hans C. Ohanian, John T. Markert, John T. Markert Ph.D.

The text presents a modern view of classical mechanics and electromagnetism for today's science and engineering students, including coverage of optics and quantum physics and emphasizing the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic phenomena.

Organized to address specific concepts and then build on them, this highly readable text divides each chapter into short, focused sections followed by review questions. Using real-world examples, the...

Physics for Engineers and Scientists

It was the correct book as described but took a very long time to receive.

The Book that makes the subject easier to understand.

I appreciate the style in which the authors have dome with the series. It is a change of pace. it emphasizes the theory, with the practical which is something that I appreciated.

Great Purchase

The item was shipped right away and arrived in the condition promised. Definitely a satisfactory purchase!

Brand new perfect condition

Brand New excellent condition fast delivery!! Perfect and so much cheaper than the college's bookstore!!!

Excellent for Future Engineers, Lots of Practical real world problems

This is one of the better textbooks for introductory Physics for science majors. Halliday, Resnick and Walker's emphasizes on problem solvings; Serway's makes great balance between concepts and applications; Giancoli's is more conceptual oriented; Young and Freedman's has a lot of excellent problems and explains concepts very well; Tipler's is quite boring and concise. It's always nice to read a newly published classical physics textbook to see how the same subject is presented differently by the different authors. But since this book emphasizes the practical aspects of physics, it's probably more welcome than the others for a college level cal based introductory physics course. There is a complete Answer book to the problems that I found quite helpful. Problems are pretty much the same for all the editions. ISBN-10: 039395756X, ISBN-13: 9780393957563
