Book 201


Halliday and Resnick's classic has now been revised. While still emphasizing classical physics and applications of physics to real-world examples, this standard text now includes many new chapter questions, and a total revision of the problems sets. The clear and concise treatment allows beginning undergraduate science students to get a firm foundation in the fundamentals of physics.

Physics

by Robert Resnick, David Halliday, and K. Krane

Published 1 January 1966
There has been increasing interest in including a significant treatment of modern physics in the introductory physics course. In response to this trend the authors have prepared an extended version of Physics, Part II. They have modified the last two chapters, Light and Quantum Physics, and the Wave Nature of Matter, and added five new ones, namely, The Structure of Atoms; Atomic Physics: Three Selected Topics; Electrical Conduction in Solids; Nuclear Physics - An Introduction; and Energy from the Nucleus. These seven chapters have been bound separately here for users of Physics, Part II who are currently mid-course so that students owning the regular version need not purchase the entire extended version as well. Users of the text, Fundamentals of Physics, Extended Version, will recognize the similarity in modern topics. As in the recent revised printing of that book, however, the authors have made a significant expansion in the problem sets to provide a better and more uniform coverage of the material and to tie them more closely to the text. They have also increased the number of worked examples, making the sets more interesting overall and improving their pedagogic impact.
It is hoped that this extended version will permit greater flexibility than heretofore in constructing the introductory physics course and add to the students' interest in the subject.

This book arms engineers with the tools to apply key physics concepts in the field. A number of the key figures in the new edition are revised to provide a more inviting and informative treatment. The figures are broken into component parts with supporting commentary so that they can more readily see the key ideas. Material from The Flying Circus is incorporated into the chapter opener puzzlers, sample problems, examples and end-of-chapter problems to make the subject more engaging. Checkpoints enable them to check their understanding of a question with some reasoning based on the narrative or sample problem they just read. Sample Problems also demonstrate how engineers can solve problems with reasoned solutions.

"Understanding Physics" is designed to work with learning strategies such as microcomputer-based labs and interactive lectures that are increasingly being used in physics instruction. In doing so, it incorporates new approaches based upon Physics Education Research (PER), aligns with courses that use computer-based laboratory tools, and supports Activity-Based Physics in lectures, labs, and recitations. A set of related materials collectively known as The Physics Suite is available to support active learning in both the lecture and the lab.
