Résumé

This best-selling, calculus-based text is recognized for its carefully crafted, logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics. 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. This edition introduces a new co-author, Dr. 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. 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!

Benefits:

NEW! JOHN W. JEWETT (Cal Poly - Pomona) is introduced as a co-author on this edition of the text. He was instrumental on the preceding edition as a contributing author, and now brings his expertise in physics education and teaching to bear as co-author.
NEW! Chapters 40 ("Introduction to Quantum Physics") and 41 ("Quantum Mechanics") have been significantly rewritten to include a more contemporary conceptual foundation. The material in Part VI explores current and future applications, such as resonant tunneling devices and the use of quantum dots in quantum computers.
NEW! The Companion Web Site (http://www.pse6.com), newly revised for this edition, features student access to Quizzes, Web Links, Internet Exercises, Learning Objectives, and Chapter Outlines. In addition, instructors have password-protected access to a downloadable file of the Instructor's Manual, a Mulitmedia Manager demo, and PowerPoint® files of QUICK QUIZZES.
NEW! Online homework systems (WebAssign, UT-Austin, and CAPA) are supported with selected problems from the Sixth Edition.
A GENERAL PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY is outlined early in the text. This strategy provides a series of steps similar to those taken by professional physicists in solving problems. This problem solving strategy is integrated into the Coached Problems (within PhysicsNow) to reinforce this key skill.
A large number of authoritative and highly realistic WORKED EXAMPLES promote interactivity and reinforce student understanding of problem-solving techniques. In many cases, these examples serve as models for solving end-of-chapter problems. The examples are set off from the text for ease of location and are given titles to describe their content. Many examples include specific references to the GENERAL PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY to illustrate the underlying concepts and methodology used in arriving at a correct solution. This will help students understand the logic behind the solution and the advantage of using a particular approach to solve the problem. About one-third of the WORKED EXAMPLES include new WHAT IF? extensions.
