Physics, Volume 2

This second edition of Serway's Physics For Global Scientists and Engineers is a practical and engaging introduction for students of calculus-based physics.

Students love the Australian, Asia-Pacific and international case studies and worked examples, concise language and high-quality artwork, in two, easy-to-carry volumes.

• NEW key topics in physics, such as the Higgs boson, engage students and keep them interested
• NEW Maths icons highlight mathematical concepts in the text and direct students to the relevant information in the Maths Appendix
• NEW Index of Symbols provides students with a quick reference for the symbols used throughout the book

This volume (two) includes Electricity and magnetism, Light and optics, and Quantum physics. Volume one covers Mechanics, Mechanical properties of solids and fluids, Oscillations and mechanical waves, and Thermodynamics.

Physics For Global Scientists and Engineers is compatible with WebAssign - the most powerful online homework solution for physics, maths and statistics. Engage students with immediate feedback, highly visual content and interactive questions, to develop a deeper conceptual understanding.

Designed to help you to quickly and easily create assignments, save time with auto-grading and monitor your students’ progress, WebAssign can be integrated with your Learning Management System, allowing easy access for you and your students. Ask your Learning Consultant for a demo.
