Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

In addition to featuring the latest discoveries, MODERN PHYSICS presents a contemporary and comprehensive approach to physics with a strong emphasis on applications. The authors discuss the experiments that led to key discoveries in order to illustrate the process behind scientific advances and to give students a historical perspective. The text features a flexible organization that allows instructors to select and teach topics in a preferred sequence without compromising the student's learning experience. A sound theoretical foundation in quantum theory is included to help physics majors succeed in their upper division courses.

Críticas

"Thornton and Rex provides just the right transition from introductory-level coursework, pointing students towards the rest of the undergraduate physics curriculum with just the right level of instruction and enough clarity to ensure continued interest." "One of the most interesting aspects of this text is the way in which the authors have placed the physics discoveries within the historical context. Some books treat all of those same topics, but occasionally the discoveries seem to appear from nowhere, as if there was no debate or ongoing problem within the scientific community."
