About Book

Product Description:  his is the most comprehensive and detailed book on the market. It has been edited to clarify conceptual development in light of recent findings from physics education research, and the mechanics sequence has been re-organised so that energy is a capstone topic. The presentation of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics has been updated to provide a more modern approach, and the end-of-chapter problem sets have been thoroughly over-hauled: new problems added; out-dated references deleted; and new short-answer conceptual questions added. The supplements package has been expanded to include more materials for student and instructor.
