DESCRIPTION:
L J in Florida said Excellent. Well written.. "Mechanical Engineering/EIT certified, et. al accolades review of an Engineering Physics Textbook" according to Marc J. Driftmeyer. I'm appauled at the low reviews of this tomb. I tutored, at one time, two dozen students in Physics, both for Engineering certified students [requiring Calculus and a textbook of this caliber] to General Physics for Business, Biology, and other non-calculus majors.This is an excellent product. I won't waste the time espousing the added value Feynman's Lectures on Physics Volumes I,II & III would have been useful to my undergraduate days in Mechanical Engineering--they were released by the time I was passed my Applied Mechanics with Calculus requirements.However, most of these reviews about self-taught and lack of deep exampl. Not really that great for an introductory physics course This book is by the far the worse physics book for a introductory college course. It states in the introduction that it is the best introductory physics book out there that will help anyone who has not taken physics. However, I disagree. The examples are very limited, and the problems are by far difficult. If one improvement was suggested to author, I would ask him to write in plain laidpack English before getting technical with much of the terms. In other words, Mr Serway please write it in plain English for just not the really bright people to understand, but also for the ones who have absolutely no experience in physics b
As Guest Scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, he worked with K. Jewett began his academic career at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, where he taught from 1974 to 1984. Jewett is the author of THE WORLD OF PHYSICS: MYSTERIES, MAGIC, AND MYTH, which provides many connections between physics and everyday experiences.
Providing students with the tools they need to succeed in introductory physics, the Sixth Edition of this authoritative text features unparalleled media integration and a newly enhanced supplemental package for instructors and students!. PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, Sixth Edition, maintains the Serway traditions of concise writing for the students, carefully thought-out problem sets and worked examples, and evolving educational pedagogy. John Jewett, at Cal Poly - Pomona, known best for his teaching awards and his role in the recently published PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, Third Edition, also written with Ray Serway. This edition introduces a new co-author, Dr. This best-selling, calculus-based text is recognized for its carefully crafted, logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics
Pitfall Preventions answered a number of my criticisms of the text. Serway's book became our students' popular choice. The students had acquired old used versions of the Serway book, and they were actively studying out of this book rather than the prescribed textbook. I have been very pleased with Serway. "Prior to the adoption of this book (PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, 5th edition), the textbook was FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS by Halliday and Resnick. He is using the non-calculus version of the text. Although Halliday and Resnick's book was the textbook chosen by the Physics Department, many students were observed by the faculty to be studying from Serway's book. He likes the book and he tells me that his fellow students do also." . I
