The first edition of this work appeared in 1930, and its originality won it immediate recognition as a classic of modern physical theory. The fourth edition has been bought out to meet a continued demand.

New to this edition are the extra supplementary examples available online as well as the TM-tools necessary to work with this method. Statics is the first volume of a three-volume textbook on Engineering Mechanics.

In the foreword, the book's author describes the contents as "conundrums, brain-teasers, entertaining anecdotes, and unexpected comparisons," adding, "I have quoted extensively from Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain and other writers, ...

This is especially true in semiconductor physics for which, due to the intrinsic low screening of these materials, the optical response is quite rich. Their spectra reflect indeed as well electronic as spin or phonon transitions.

Here Lawrence M. Krauss, himself a theoretical physicist and a best-selling author, offers a unique scientific biography: a rollicking narrative coupled with clear and novel expositions of science at the limits.

Accompanying CD-ROM contains ... "a chapter on engineering statistics and probability / by N. Bali, M. Goyal, and C. Watkins."--CD-ROM label.

This volume is the first international collection of the best physics problems (both theoretical and experimental) given at the national physics competitions for high school students in different countries.

Building upon Serway and Jewetta s solid foundation in the modern classic text, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, this first Asia-Pacific edition of Physics is a practical and engaging introduction to Physics.
