Paul Tipler's Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics has set the standard in introductory physics courses for clarity, accuracy, and precision. The sixth edition offers a completely integrated text and media solution that will enable students to learn most effectively and professors to teach most efficiently. The text includes a new strategic problem-solving approach, an integrated Math Tutorial, and new tools to improve conceptual understanding. New 'Physics Spotlights' feature cutting-edge topics that help students relate what they are learning to real world technologies. This textbook is also available in three volumes: Volume 1: Mechanics/Oscillations and Waves/Thermodynamics (Ch 1-20, R) http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=279798 Volume 2: Electricity and Magnetism/Light (Ch 21-33) http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=279799 Volume 3: Elementary Modern Physics (Ch 34-41) http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?P ID=279800 NEW TO THIS EDITION * New Problem Solving Strategy: Examples follow a consistent "Picture, Solve, and Check" format to walk students through the steps involved in analyzing the problem, solving the problem, and then checking their answers; they include "Taking It Further" sections which present alternative ways of solving problems, interesting facts, or additional information regarding the concepts presented; and are followed by "Practice Problems" where appropriate. * New Integrated Math Tutorial to review basic results of algebra, geometry, trigonomtry, and calculus and provide "Examples and Practice Problems" for students to check their understanding of mathematical concepts. * New Pedagogy to ensure conceptual understanding includes "Conceptual Examples", "Concept Checks", and "Pitfalls" statements. * New "Physics Spotlights" discuss current applications of physics and connect these applications to concepts described in chapters.
