Test Bank: For Physics for Engineers and Scientists

For engineers and science majors, this volume offers a thoroughly contemporary introduction to classical mechanics and electromagnetism. In covering the traditional topics of the introductory course, Professor Ohanian brings to bear many insights that have emerged from relativity and quantum mechanics. He consistently opens topics with the particle view, even in the material on electricity, where he begins with electrons and protons rather than silk and glass. Without belaboring the point, he shows students the revisions that Einstein's theories brought to classical physics. And he appropriates some useful terminology- "event," "worldline," "spin," and "self-energy," for instance- and applies it to the description of classical phenomena.
