From the Authors Raymond A. Serway and Chris Vuille eleventh edition's Preface :
College Physics is written for an annual course in introductory physics typically taken by students majoring in biology, health professions, or different disciplines, including environmental, earth, social sciences and technical fields like architecture. The mathematical techniques utilized in this book embody pure mathematics and geometry, however not calculus. Drawing on feedback from users of the tenth edition, analytics gathered from each professors and students, as well as reviewers’ suggestions, we've refined the text to raised meet the requirements of students and lecturers.
Additionally, the text currently encompasses a fully-integrated learning path in MindTap.This textbook, that covers the quality topics in classical physics and twentieth-century physics, is split into six components. Part one (Topics 1–9) deals with Newtonian mechanics and therefore the physics of fluids; part two (Topics 10–12) cares with heat and thermodynamics; part three (Topics thirteen and 14) covers wave motion and sound; part four (Topics 15–21) develops the ideas of electricity and magnetism; part five (Topics 22–25) treats the properties of light and therefore the field of geometric and wave optics; and part six (Topics 26–30) provides an introduction to special relativity theory, quantum physics, natural philosophy, and physical science.
Objectives
The main objectives of this introductory textbook are twofold: to supply the student with a transparent and logical presentation of the essential ideas and principles of physics and to strengthen their understanding of them through a broad vary of fascinating, real-world applications. To satisfy those objectives, we've stressed sound physical arguments and problem-solving methodology. At constant time we've tried to encourage the coed through sensible examples that demonstrate the role of physics in different disciplines. Finally, with the text absolutely integrated into MindTap, we offer a learning path that keeps students on the right track for success.
Changes to the Eleventh Edition
The text has been rigorously emended to boost clarity of presentation and preciseness of language. We tend to hope that the result's a book each correct and pleasurable to browse. Although the general content and organization of the textbook are like the tenth edition, various changes and enhancements are created in getting ready the eleventh edition. Number of new options are supporting our experiences and on current trends in science education. Different changes are incorporated in response to comments and suggestions offered by users of the tenth edition. The features listed here represent the main changes created for the eleventh edition.
