Maximize your course success by making the most of what Serway/Jewett's PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS WITH MODERN PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, has to offer. From a host of in-text features to a range of outstanding technology resources, you'll have everything you need to understand the natural forces and principles of physics. New context-rich exercises, Think-Pair-Share problems and MCAT-style passage problems enable you to put what you learn into practice.

  • Each chapter includes extensive problem sets organized by difficulty level and type.
  • A general problem-solving strategy is presented early in the text and reinforced throughout worked examples.
  • Worked examples follow a two-column format with conceptual explanations alongside mathematical steps.
  • Chapter 16 consolidates material on traveling mechanical waves and sound waves, while Chapter 23 adds analysis of electric fields due to continuous charge distributions using Gauss's law.
  • A new Chapter 43 covers nuclear physics, while the final five chapters each cover focused applications of fundamental principles.
  • Chapters 22 and 24 are reorganized to provide a gradual introduction to challenging topics and ensure students learn all necessary basic material.
