Synopsis
This new edition combines pedagogy, problem sets, and teaching art in a presentation that includes coverage of a number of new topics and discoveries. It features problems divided by level of difficulty; offers valuable grounding in the history of the field; accommodates both one and two term courses and allows instructors to vary the applications topics covered from term to term; uses real data, photographs of people and apparatus, and quotations from original papers; covers "relativity" in two chapters, enabling instructors to teach just the basics or go deeper without disturbing continuity; has "exploring" sections throughout which deal with very current topics and/or topics of high student interest; and includes a new chapter, "Astrophysics and Cosmology", which is featured on the Modern Physics Web Site, complete with dramatic colour photos, and links to astronomy and astrophysics research sites worldwide. There are also nearly 500 figures and drawings and extensive end-of-chapter media references. These annotated references point to exceptional, carefully reviewed experiments, simulations, and other noteworthy material that is generally available and easy to use. Instructors can decide which programs and media offerings suit their course. These references will be updated often on the book's Web site.

Book Description
Tipler and Llewellyn's acclaimed text guides students through the foundations and wide ranging applications of modern physics with the utmost clarity, without sacrificing scientific integrity
From the Back Cover
Tipler and Llewellyn's acclaimed text guides students through the foundations and wide ranging applications of modern physics with the utmost clarity, without sacrificing scientific integrity. With more end-of-chapter problems than any other modern physics text, and a focus on real data and quotations from original papers, this book helps turn students into scientists.
The sixth edition has been thoroughly updated with new discoveries and developments in Physics. Recognizing the increasing emphasis of concepts from physics in biology and medicine, applications in those areas are included in new and revised examples. In conjunction with an updated companion website, and fantastically clear art-work, the updates to this book continue to make it an essential undergraduate text.
A number of new "Application Notes" have been added to the sixth edition. These brief notes in the margins of many pages point to a few of the many benefits to society that have been made possible by a discovery or development in modern physics.
Also new in the sixth edition are the "For You" text boxes. These text boxes highlight current and future research and development activity toward which today's students may consider directing their own career interests.
Worked-out examples are included in every chapter, and more than two dozen "Exploring" sections deal with text-related topics that captivate student interest, such as superluminal speed and giant atoms.
The text's flexible organization accommodates both one- and two-term courses and allows instructors to vary the applications covered from term to term.
