Inhaltsangabe

<p>The 10^th edition of Halliday, Resnick and Walkers&nbsp; <i><b>Fundamentals of Physics</b></i> provides the perfect solution&nbsp; for teaching a 2 or 3 semester calculus-based physics course, providing&nbsp; instructors with a tool by which they can teach students how to&nbsp; effectively read scientific material, identify fundamental&nbsp; concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve&nbsp; quantitative problems. The 10th edition builds upon previous editions by offering new features designed to better engage students and support critical thinking. These include NEW Video Illustrations that bring the subject matter to life, NEW Vector Drawing Questions that test students conceptual understanding, and additional multimedia resources (videos and&nbsp; animations) that provide an alternative pathway through the&nbsp; material for those who struggle with reading scientific&nbsp; exposition.&nbsp;</p> <p><b><i>WileyPLUS sold separately from text.</i></b>&nbsp;</p>

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

<b>David Halliday</b> is associated with the University of Pittsburgh as Professor Emeritus. As department chair in 1960, he and Robert Resnick collaborated on <i>Physics for Students of Science and Engineering</i> and then on <i>Fundamentals of Physics</i>. <i>Fundamentals</i> is currently in its eighth edition and has since been handed over from Halliday and Resnick to Jearl Walker. Dr. Halliday is retired and resides in Seattle. <p><b>Robert Resnick</b> is professor emeritus at Rensselaer and the former Edward P. Hamilton Distinguished Professor of Science Education, 1974-93. Together with his co-author David Halliday, he revolutionized physics education with their now famous textbook on general physics, still one of the most highly regarded texts in the field today.</p> <p><b>Jearl Walker</b>, professor of physics at Cleveland State University, received his BS in physics from MIT in 1967 and his PhD in physics from University of Maryland in 1973. His book <i>The Flying Circus of Physics</i> was published 30 years ago, has been translated into at least 10 languages, and is still being sold world wide. For 16 years he toured his Flying Circus talk throughout the U.S. and Canada, introducing such physics stunts as the bed-of-nails demonstration and the walking-on-hot-coals demonstration to countless physics teachers, who then proceeded to hurt themselves when they repeated the stunts in their own classrooms. These talks led to his PBS television show Kinetic Karnival which ran nationally for years and which earned an Emmy.</p>
