Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Standard Version, Volume 1

Paul A. Tipler, Gene Mosca

W. H. Freeman, 2004 - Science - 1116 pages

For nearly 30 years, Paul Tipler's Physics for Scientists and Engineers has set the standard in the introductory calculus-based physics course for clarity, accuracy and precision.  In this Fifth Edition, Gene Mosca brings his years of teaching to bear on the text, to scrutinize every explanation and example from the perspective of the freshman student.  The result is a teaching tool that retains its precision and rigor, but offers struggling students the support they need to solve problems strategically and to gain real understanding of physical concepts.

About the author

Tipler recieve his B.S. from Purdue University and his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois. He taught physics for 20 years at Oakland University.

Paul A. Tipler promovierte an der University of Illinois ??ber die Struktur von Atomkernen. Seine ersten Lehrerfahrungen sammelte er an der Wesleyan University of Connecticut. Anschlie??end wurde er Physikprofessor an der Oakland University, wo er ma??geblich an der Entwicklung des Lehrplans f??r das Physikstudium beteiligt war. Inzwischen lebt er als Emeritus in Berkeley, California.
Gene Mosca hat ??ber viele Jahre Physikkurse an amerikanischen Universit??ten gegeben, darunter Emporia State, University of South Dakota and Annapolis und Web-Kurse entwickelt. Er hat als Koautor der dritten und vierten englischen Ausgabe auch die Studentenmaterialien gestaltet.
Dietrich Pelte ist, nach mehrj??hrigen Forschungsaufenthalten in Israel, Kanada und den USA, jetzt pensionierter Professor f??r Experimentalphysik an der Universit??t Heidelberg. Er ist Autor zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Publikationen und ??ber viele Jahre durch seine Grundvorlesungen und als Vorsitzender des Diplompr??fungsausschusses der Fakult??t f??r Physik und Astronomie didaktisch erfahren.
