For the calculus‎-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors ‎(‎including physics majors‎)‎‎.‎ This long‎-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli‎'‎s reputation for creating carefully crafted‎,‎ highly accurate and precise physics texts‎.‎ Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics‎.‎ The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media and on‎-line resources that enhance the understanding of physics‎.‎ This book is written for students‎.‎ It aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear‎,‎ and to teach students by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying‎.‎ Physics is a description of reality‎,‎ and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can directly relate to‎.‎ We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic‎.‎ Not only does this make the material more interesting and easier to understand‎,‎ but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced‎.‎
