For courses in introductory calculus-based physics

Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy and a clear and direct narrative with applications that draw the student into the physics at hand. The text gives students a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of physics in all its aspects, from mechanics to modern physics. Each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that students can relate to their everyday lives and future professions, and then moves to generalisations and the more formal aspects of physics to show why we believe, what we believe.

The 5th Edition presents a wide range of new applications including the physics of digital and added approaches for practical problem-solving techniques.

Complete version: All 3 volumes = 44 Chapters, including 9 Chapters of modern physics.

The 3 Volume version is also available separately.

  • Volume 1: Chapters 1-20 on mechanics, including fluids, oscillations, waves, plus heat and thermodynamics.
  • Volume 2: Chapters 21-35 on electricity and magnetism, plus light and optics.
  • Volume 3: Chapters 36-44 on modern physics: relativity, quantum theory, atomic physics, condensed matter, nuclear physics, elementary particles, cosmology and astrophysics.
