We are exceptionally pleased to present the fifth edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers. Over the course of this revision, we have built upon the strengths of the fourth edition so that the new text is an even more reliable, engaging and motivating leaing tool for the calculus-based introductory physics course. With the help of reviewers and the many users of the fourth edition we have carefully scrutinized and refined every aspect of the book, with an eye toward improving student comprehension and success. Our goals included helping students to increase their problem-solving ability, making the text more accessible and fun to read, and keeping the text flexible for the instructor.
This edition also includes two types of specialized examples that provide unique problem-solving opportunities for students. The Try it Yourself examples prompt students to take an active role in solving the problem, and the Put It in Context examples approximate the real life scenarios they might encounter as scientists.
