Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers

Comprehensive, contemporary coverage and a strong emphasis on applications make this a superior text for physics, engineering, and science majors. The modern approach incorporates a flexible organization, numerous examples and problems, and cutting-edge topics such as superconductivity. Unique "Special Topic" boxes containing up-to-date applications of interest to physicists and engineers show the relevance of modern physics to the real world and look more in depth at particularly engaging topics. A focus on the history of physics throughout the text places it in a human perspective and helps students understand how science works.
