About this title

Synopsis:

For algebra-based introductory physics courses taken primarily by pre-med, agricultural, technology, and architectural students.

This best-selling algebra-based physics text is known for its elegant writing, engaging biological applications, and exactness.  Physics:  Principles with Applications, 6e retains the careful exposition and precision of previous editions with many interesting new applications and carefully crafted new pedagogy.  It was written to give students the basic concepts of physics in a manner that is accessible and clear.  The goal is for students to view the world through eyes that know physics.

About the Author:

Douglas C. Giancoli obtained his BA in physics (summa cum laude) from the University of California, Berkeley, his MS in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his PhD in elementary particle physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He spent 2 years as a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley’s Virus lab developing skills in molecular biology and biophysics. His mentors include Nobel winners Emilio Segré and Donald Glaser.

 

He has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses, traditional as well as innovative ones, and continues to update his texbooks meticulously, seeking ways to better provide an understanding of physics for students.

 

Doug’s favorite spare-time activity is the outdoors, especially climbing peaks. He says climbing peaks is like learning physics: it takes effort and the rewards are great.
