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...

°New oxygen - Compiling his know-how in concept formation from Integrated Product Design (IPD) into Integrated Quantum Design (IQD), product designer Koenraad M.L.L.Van Spaendonck (Alumnus of the University of Antwerp UA 1995) injects new oxygen into the quest for a theory of quantum gravity with a unifying character. Entailing a.o. the breeding ground for a universal building block for space and matter, and a finite abacus for space from which time emerges.

This monograph has gathered together three extraordinary problems in theoretical physics to be solved exactly. The problems range from the long-standing limit problem of the simple harmonic oscillator in quantum mechanics, the unfolding of a hidden symmetry in the Markovian birth-and-death equations, to the four-hundred-year-old problem of the simple pendulum. Therefore, this monograph is a rare "three-of-a-kind" collection of major essays on seemingly unsolvable problems in physics.

The original idea that electromagnetic waves propagate in every direction with the same universal constant, the speed of light, corresponds with Maxwell’s Theory of Electrodynamics in 1865. With the introduction of the Laser it became clear that it is also possible to emit a beam of light in one single direction while the speed of light in the directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation equals zero. In general, the laser frequencies are so high that the Laser radiation will not...

According to Maxwell’s equations Electromagnetic Waves can only propagate along straight lines and it is impossible that Light (Electromagnetic Waves) could confine with the surface of a sphere or an ellipse. For that reason, these material waves in Schrödinger’s wave equation could only be of a different origin than Electromagnetic Waves. Niels Bohr introduced the concept of “Probability Waves” as the origin of the material waves in Schrödinger’s wave equation. And defined the Ne...

Relativity theory has annexed the reality of Time through the introduction of the abstract concept of 'spacetime'. Since then, this one sided physical conception has distorted our daily view of Time. Yes, Space is relative, but Time is not a 4th dimension of Space! Time is much more than that. It leaves its mark on Space during the course of history, not the other way around! Time flows and acts in Space as a rhythmically varying polarity - between causality and finality, between chronology a...

The text is a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to optics suitable for one- or two-term intermediate and upper level undergraduate physics and engineering students. The reorganized table of contents provides instructors the flexibility to tailor the chapters to meet their individual needs.

This best-selling introduction to the physical and life sciences emphasizes concepts over computation and treats equations as a guide to thinking so the reader can connect ideas. Conceptual Integrated Science covers physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy, and biology at a level appropriate for non-science students. The conceptual approach relates science to everyday life, is personal and direct, deemphasizes jargon, and emphasizes central ideas.

The conceptual ideas serve as the foundat...

Guided practice helps students develop into expert problem solversThe new 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics, now in SI Units, draws on insights from several users to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types. Students learn to recognize when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging values into an equation. This edition addresses students' te...

When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...
