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 local and global 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 (one) includes Mechanics, Mechanical properties of solids and fluids, Oscillations and mechanical waves, and Thermodynamics.

Volume two covers Electricity and magnetism, Light and optics, and Quantum physics.

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.

NEW Maths Icon to highlight mathematical concepts in the text and direct students to the relevant information in the Maths Appendix. Wayne Rowlands is a valuable NEW addition to our adapting author team. Wayne joins Kate Wilson and Anna Wilson, and is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Swinburne University of Technology. He has a PhD in laser atomic physics from the University of Melbourne, and a Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching from Swinburne University of Technology. His interests cover fundamental experimental research, science education and outreach. Content aligned to local curriculum, to ease the transition from school to university physics. NEW Table of Symbols, providing students with a quick reference for the symbols used throughout the book. Easy-to-carry two smaller volumes offers flexibility and manageability for students. 'Try This’ examples demonstrate key concepts with simple experiments that students can do themselves using everyday items, allowing them to apply the theory. Engineering and Scientific examples and problems to help students relate physics concepts to a range of other disciplines. International and regional case studies throughout the text have been written by practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and cover relevant applications and research in physics, helping students to engage and understand physics.
