The newly revised Twelfth Edition of Cutnell's Physics delivers an effective and accessible introduction to college and university physics. It contains easy-to follow explanations of critical math and problem-solving concepts. From kinematics to work and energy, temperature, heat, electricity, magnetism and optics as well as foundational concepts in more advanced subjects like special relativity, Physics is the ideal introductory text for students from any background. The greatest strength of...

For courses in introductory calculus-based physics. A research-driven approach to physics Physics for Scientists and Engineers incorporates Physics Education Research and cognitive science best practices that encourage conceptual development, problem-solving skill acquisition, and visualization. Knight stresses qualitative reasoning through physics principles before formalizing physics mathematically, developing student problem-solving skills with a systematic, scaffolded approach.

Elke seconde vliegen er zo’n honderd miljard neutrino´s door je duim. Deze spookachtige deeltjes zijn heel moeilijk te detecteren. Wil je een glimp van ze opvangen, dan heb je megalomane experimenten nodig met bijvoorbeeld detectoren in het zuidpoolijs of op de bodem van de zee. In Spookdeeltjes vertelt wetenschapsjournalist Dorine Schenk waarom natuurkundigen zo hard naar neutrino’s speuren – ze kunnen grote raadsels uit de natuurkunde oplossen. Bijvoorbeeld de vraag waarom er wel mat...
