Description
Achieve success in your physics course by making the most of what PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS has to offer. From a host of in-text features to a range of outstanding technology resources, you'll have everything you need to understand the natural forces and principles of physics. Throughout every chapter, the authors have built in a wide range of examples, exercises, and illustrations that willhelp you understand the laws of physics AND succeed in your course! This briefer, paperbound version does not contain the end-of-chapter problems, which can be accessed in WebAssign, the online homework and learning system for this book. Access to WebAssign and an eBook version is included with this Hybrid version. The eBook is the full version of the text, with all end-of-chapter questions and problem sets.
