Book Description:
Fishbane/Gasiorowicz/Thornton is a comprehensive introduction to calculus-based physics. The most successful first-edition physics text of the last decade, it is the only book written specifically to address the main issue in this course – namely, balancing the needs and wants of the students with those of the instructor. The authors, experienced researchers and teachers, represent both theoretical and experimental physicists. This text presents balance between theory and applications, between concepts and problem-solving, between mathematics and physics, and finally, between technology and traditional pedagogical methods. Appropriate for both scientists and engineers with increased applications for engineering students.

Features and Benefits:
New problem-solving boxes added throughout the text and applications boxes.
Problem material has been substantially revised to include more applied material.
Modern Physics is given unique and comprehensive treatment, with topics appearing earlier in the text, either integrated into text discussion or placed in separate optional sections.
Simple student sketches and many worked examples stress solving problems algebraically first, putting the number in only after the necessary manipulation has occurred.
All mathematics in the text is self-contained, and major mathematical tools are introduced as needed.
MATLAB and Mathematica Project Books
Interactive CD-Rom for Physics
Portable TA problem solving guide with detailed solutions to provide students with extra practice to help them develop better problem-solving intuition. This collection of problems is the result of two years of class- testing. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis:
For Calculus-based Physics courses. This text is designed for a calculus-based physics course at the beginning university and college level. It is written with the expectation that students have either taken or are currently taking a beginning course in calculus. Students taking a physics course based on this book should leave with a solid conceptual understanding of the fundamental physical laws and how these laws can be applied to solve many problems. The key word for this edition is “understanding.” The third edition of this text remains rigorous while including a number of new pedagogical elements which emphasize conceptual understanding.
