Scientists and Engineers with Modern 8e

As a market leader, PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, 8e, International Edition is one of the most powerful brands in the physics market. However, rather than resting on that reputation, the new edition of this text marks a significant advance in the already excellent quality of the book. While preserving concise language, state of the art educational pedagogy, and top-notch worked examples, the Eighth Edition features a unified art design as well as streamlined and carefully reorganized problem sets that enhance the thoughtful instruction for which Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett, Jr. earned their reputations. Likewise, PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, 8e, International Edition will continue to accompany Enhanced WebAssign in the most integrated text-technology offering available today. In an environment where new Physics texts have appeared with challenging and novel means to teach students, this book exceeds all modern standards of education from the most solid foundation in the Physics market today. FeaturesProblem Solving Strategy. A General Problem Solving Strategy is outlined early in the text and provides a series of steps similar to those taken by professional physicists in solving problems. This problem solving strategy is revisited in each "Worked Example" so students approach problems consistently, developing stronger problem-solving skills. The General Problem Solving Strategy is further reinforced by "Problem-Solving Strategy" boxes that provide additional tips for tackling specific types of problems.Hallmark Problem Sets. An extensive set of problems is included at the end of each chapter; in all, the text contains about 3,000 problems. Answers to odd-numbered problems are provided at the end of the book. For the convenience of both the student and the instructor, about two thirds of the problems are keyed to specific sections of the chapter. The remaining problems, labeled "Additional Problems" and "Challenging Problems," require students to synthesize key ideas from several sections. Each problem is ranked as either straightforward, intermediate, or challenging. Every End of Chapter problem can be assigned and graded through the Enhanced WebAssign homework management system.Problem Variety. The authors include a great diversity of problem types, including those that require students to think qualitatively in some parts and quantitatively in others; problems asking for solutions in symbols, as well as many problems asking for numerical answers; review problems requiring the student to combine concepts covered in the chapter with those discussed in previous chapters; and problems that ask the student to reason in order-of-magnitude terms. Each chapter also contains at least one problem applying ideas and methods from differential calculus, and one using integral calculus.Questions. Over 800 Objective and Conceptual Questions are included in this edition. Answers to selected questions are included in the Student Solutions Manual and Study Guide(denoted in the text by an icon), and answers to all questions are found in the Instructor''s Solutions Manual. All of the "Questions" can be assigned and graded through the Enhanced WebAssign homework management system.
