    Product Information

    Physicsfor Scientists and Engineers incorporates Physics Education Research and cognitive science bestpractices that encourage conceptual development, problem-solving skillacquisition, and visualization. Knight stresses qualitative reasoning throughphysics principles before formalizing physics mathematically, developingstudent problem-solving skills with a systematic, scaffolded approach. The textpresents a finely tuned, practical introduction to physics with problems thatrelate physics to everyday life and includes models, modeling, and advancedtopics. 

    With the 5thEdition, new content includes key topics such as Entropy quantitatively,Viscosity and Poiseuille's Equation, and Carnot Efficiency details.
