Synopsis
Ein zweib ndiger Klassiker unter den Physiklehrb chern und zweifellos eines der umfassendsten und ausf hrlichsten Werke seiner Art Auch diese 5. Auflage bem ht sich besonders um eine klare, einleuchtende Darstellung der Grundgedanken, gest tzt auf neueste Erkenntnisse der Physikdidaktik. Die Kapitel zur Thermodynamik und zur Quantentheorie wurden durchg ngig aktualisiert; alle bungsaufgaben wurden berarbeitet, neue Aufgaben sind hinzugekommen. Erweitert wurde auch der Erg nzungsband.
Synopsis
Written for the full year or three term Calculus-based University Physics course for science and engineering majors, the publication of the first edition of Physics in 1960 launched the modern era of Physics textbooks. It was a new paradigm at the time and continues to be the dominant model for all texts. Physics is the most realistic option for schools looking to teach a more demanding course. The entirety of Volume 2 of the 5th edition has been edited to clarify conceptual development in light of recent findings of physics education research. End-of-chapter problem sets are thoroughly over-hauled, new problems are added, outdated references are deleted, and new short-answer conceptual questions are added.
