Product Description
KEY MESSAGE: As the most widely adopted new physics text in more than 50 years, Knight’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers was published to widespread critical acclaim from professors and students. In this eagerly awaited second edition, Knight builds on the research-proven instructional techniques he introduced, as well as national data of student performance, to take student learning even further. Knight’s unparalleled insight into student learning difficulties, and his impeccably skillful crafting of text and figures at every level – from macro to micro – to address these difficulties, results in a uniquely effective and accessible book, leading students to a deeper and better-connected understanding of the concepts and more proficient problem-solving skills. Building on an NSF-sponsored educational research program and input from tens of thousands of student users, the second edition refines and extends the pedagogical innovations that years of use has now shown to be effective. Unprecedented analysis of national student metadata has allowed every problem to be systematically enhanced for educational effectives, and to ensure problem sets of ideal topic coverage, balance of qualitative and quantitative problems, and range of difficulty and duration. Newton's Laws: Concepts of Motion • Kinematics in One Dimension • Vectors and Coordinate Systems • Kinematics in Two Dimensions • Force and Motion • Dynamics I: Motion Along a Line • Dynamics II: Interacting Objects • Dynamics III: Motion in a Plane Conservation Laws: Impulse and Momentum • Energy • Work Applications of Newtonian Mechanics: Rotation of a Rigid Body • Newton's Theory of Gravity • Oscillations • Fluids and Elasticity Thermodynamics: A Macroscopic Description of Matter • Work, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics • The Micro/Macro Connection • Heat Engines and Refrigerators Waves and Optics: Traveling Waves • Superposition • Wave Optics • Ray Optics • Optical Instruments • Modern Optics and Matter Waves Electricity and Magnetism: Electric Charges and Forces • The Electric Field • Gauss's Law • The Electric Potential • Potential and Field • Current and Conductivity • Fundamentals of Circuits • The Magnetic Field • Electromagnetic Induction • Electromagnetic Fields and Waves • AC Circuits Relativity and Quantum Physics: Relativity • The End of Classical Physics • Quantization • Wave Functions and Probabilities • One-Dimensional Quantum Mechanics • Atomic Physics • Nuclear Physics MARKET: For all readers interested in leading students to a deeper and better-connected understanding of the concepts and more proficient problem-solving skills.

Great text. Focuses on understanding the material vs. memorizing equations July 12, 2010 Earnric (Tempe, AZ) This is a great 1st year physics text. It focuses the reader/student on understanding the physical phenomenon as opposed to the mathematics alone.
Sure, the math is there, but the focus is on the foundational knowledge physics students need to progress in this field. I highly recommend this text.
Item exactly how described February 25, 2010 J. Bush (Norman, Ok USA) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I recieved the item in the condition described and am more than pleased with the product.
INCLUDES WORKBOOK January 15, 2010 Channing Ranger 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
Like others mentioned, this INCLUDES THE WORKBOOK. I didn't read the reviews and I ended up buying an extra one. Thank goodness amazon does returns! Speedy shipping.
includes all volumes AND the workbook September 4, 2009 totalpkg (midwest USA) 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
This purchase INCLUDES the workbook. :) The textbook contains all volumes of the series and is cheaper to purchase than separate volumes individually. A concise and detailed explanation of Physics, this is an excellent (and highly recommended) purchase.
Physics book March 30, 2009 Dracoxero 1 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was hoping this product matched the book i needed for my college class and it did, however i was under the impression it was a hard cover, not to big a deal, but it would have made a difference. Overall good product.
