Physics & Astronomy

Year after year, edition after edition, this has been the introductory textbook of choice for hundreds of institutions nationwide. Throughout the text, sequential figures of complicated derivations help students visualize the abstract-providing them with the kind of logical continuity too often lacking in other introductory texts. Over 2600 end-of-chapter problems are included, arranged in groups and labeled by chapter and section for easy reference. Beiser is sensitive to the realities of student mathematical preparation and includes an appendix on useful mathematics. This text speaks directly and clearly to the students, giving them all the information they need in a way they can follow. This combination provides a text that is complete, clear, conversational, and logical.
