Synopsis
As the most widely adopted new physics book in more than 50 years, Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers was published to widespread critical acclaim from professors and students. In the Third Edition, Knight builds on the research-proven instructional techniques he introduced in the first and second editions, as well as national data of student performance, to take student learning even further. Knight's unparalleled insight into student learning difficulties, and his impeccably skillful crafting of text and figures at every level--from macro to micro--to address these difficulties, results in a uniquely effective and accessible book, leading students to a deeper and better-connected understanding of the concepts and more proficient problem-solving skills. For the Third Edition, Knight continues to apply the best results from educational research, and to refine and tailor them for this course and its students. New pedagogical features (Chapter Previews, Challenge Examples, and Data-based Examples), end-of-chapter problem sets enhanced through analysis of national student metadata, and fine-tuned and streamlined content take the hallmarks of the previous editions--exceptionally effective conceptual explanation and problem-solving instruction--to a new level.

    Not Remotely Similar to US Edition

    Don't buy this if you're a college student looking for a cheap physics book, unfortunately, the book isn't closely similar and can't be used for many practice problems professors assign. If you're an Indian college student looking for a book, I'm sure this would serve fine. Darn you this time, Pearson.

    Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Knight

    One of the best books for college level Physics. Good writing and easy to understand. I highly recommend it to any college student interested in this subject.

    Nearly perfect

    It has all of the content from the American edition, including the Modern Physics chapters. The only thing it's missing is the running headers, so it's difficult to determine what chapter you're in as you're flipping through. Otherwise, for the price, a very worthwhile purchase.
