With more than 100 years of combined teaching experience and PhDs in particle, nuclear, and condensed-matter physics, these three authors could hardly be better qualified to write this introduction to modern physics. They have combined their award-winning teaching skills with their experience writing best-selling textbooks to produce a readable and comprehensive account of the physics that has developed over the last hundred years and led to today's ubiquitous technology. Assuming the knowledge of a typical freshman course in classical physics, they lead the reader through relativity, quantum mechanics, and the most important applications of both of these fascinating theories.For Adopting Professors, a detailed Instructors Manual is also available.

Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers

This is a concise, accessible introduction to general physics for the calculus-based course taken by science and engineering students. Updated, this edition focuses on essential principles rather than advanced topics, using frequent real-world examples (with solutions) from biology, geology, electronics, music and other fields to reinforce physical concepts. The book introduces classical physics gradually, in order to aid the development of problem-solving skills and provides sufficient mathematical material so that students may work through the material independently.
