Description
For courses in introductory calculus-based physics.
A research-driven approach, fine-tuned for even greater ease-of-use and student success
For the Fourth Edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Knight continues to build on strong research-based foundations with fine-tuned and streamlined content, hallmark features, and an even more robust MasteringPhysics program, taking student learning to a new level. By extending problem-solving guidance to include a greater emphasis on modeling and significantly revised and more challenging problem sets, students gain confidence and skills in problem solving. A modified Table of Contents and the addition of advanced topics now accommodate different teaching preferences and course structures.
Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MasteringPhysics does not come packaged with this content. Students, if interested in purchasing this title with MasteringPhysics, ask your instructor for the correct package ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

Person
About our author Randy Knight taught introductory physics for 32 years at Ohio State University and California Polytechnic University; where he is Professor Emeritus of Physics. Professor Knight received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California; Berkeley and was a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics before joining the faculty at Ohio State University. It was at Ohio State that he began to learn about the research in physics education that; many years later; led to Five Easy Lessons: Strategies for Successful Physics Teaching and this book; as well as College Physics: A Strategic Approach; co-authored with Brian Jones and Stuart Field. Professor Knight's research interests are in the field of laser spectroscopy and environmental science. When he's not in front of a computer; you can find Randy hiking; sea kayaking; playing the piano; or spending time with his wife Sally and their six cats.
