Modern Physics is a funny concept. What Physicists consider to be modern consists of discoveries that in some instances happened just over a century ago. In this view what makes these topics and discoveries modern is not their relative age, but rather the conceptual shift from the Physics that has dominated the scientific worldview since at least the time of Galileo. Even more importantly, this "old" scientific worldview is based on "common sense" notions about the space, time and matter that everyone has taken for granted ever since people started to think about these concepts. In that regard the implications of modern physics go far beyond anything that had been discovered up to that point, and take a long time to wrap our minds around. Because the modern physics is has such a deep and revolutionizing impact on the way that we think about the world, and because it is comprised of the scientific discoveries of the greatest minds that ever lived, it is illusory to expect that a single semester course would do justice to all of its complexity. This textbook, like most others for this subject, has to work with these daunting constraints. When that is taken into consideration, one can't but conclude that the textbook is on par with similar other ones in this category. It certainly has its shortcomings, but overall this is as good of a book as any to gain make first steps in direction of understanding the modern Physics.

Because of the way that the concepts form modern Physics run counter to our intuition, it takes a while to get used to them. Physics is not just an agglomeration of equations and mathematical formulas designed to be applied to some data. It is also a collection of stories and mental pictures that have been developed in order to make a better sense of the meaning of the world around us. These stories are especially useful and needed when we encounter new physical theories for the first time. From that point, this textbook is a wonderful resource. It provides many interesting and insightful stories that accompany our understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena.

What this book is not very good at is the derivation of equations and formulae. Oftentimes the reader is left in the dark, and additional work on one's own may be required. This is particularly frustrating when it comes to some more complicated equations or results, like the "derivation" of Lorentz transformations or the Rutherford scattering formula. Granted, most of these derivations are better handled in an advanced Physics course where they can be given more careful treatment, but nonetheless one feels that they are not given as good of a treatment at this level as possible.

To conclude, this is a decent book on one of the most amazing topics in science. It is best to take it as an introduction to the field, rather than a comprehensive and exhaustive treatment. With those caveats, it is possible to gain a decent understanding of what the modern Physics is all about from this textbook.

Arbeitsbuch zu Tipler/Mosca Physik für Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure

Das Arbeitsbuch zum Physiklehrbuch von Paul A. Tipler und Gene Mosca enthält die ausführlichen Lösungen zu allen in der deutschen Lehrbuchausgabe gestellten Aufgaben, und zwar in derselben Gliederung nach den Bereichen Mechanik, Schwingungen und Wellen, Thermodynamik, Elektrizität und Magnetismus, Licht und schließlich Moderne Physik (Quantentheorie, Relativitätstheorie und Struktur der Materie). Für Studenten bietet das Buch, das auch als Aufgabensammlung mit Lösungen unabhängig vom Lehrbuch genutzt werden kann, vielfältige Anregungen, praxisnah und mit Blick auf Standardexperimente physikalisches Problemlösen mit Hilfe von ganz elementarem mathematischen Handwerkszeug zu entdecken, auszuprobieren und einzuüben - und zwar mit Spaß und Erfolgsgarantie! Denn die Lösungen werden schrittweise dargelegt.

Physik: Für Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure

Verstandlich, einpragsam, lebendig - dies ist Tiplers Einfuhrung in die Experimentalphysik. Klar und eingangig entwickelt Tipler die physikalische Begriffs- und Formelwelt. Der flussig geschriebene Text wird dabei instruktiv und von liebevoll gestalteter Farbgrafik illustriert. Studienanfanger - egal, ob sie Physik im Haupt- oder Nebenfach studieren - finden hier Schritt fur Schritt den Einstieg in die Physik. Beispielaufgaben zum Nachvollziehen und zum selbst uben vermitteln die notwendige Sicherheit fur anstehende Klausuren und Prufungen. Wer dieses attraktive Buch aufschlagt, wird es so schnell nicht wieder aus der Hand legen: - anschauliche Grafik - durchgehend vierfarbig - in ubersichtlichem Layout - verstandliche Aufbereitung des Prufungsstoffes - ausgearbeitete Beispielaufgaben, vom Text deutlich abgesetzt - zu jedem Kapitel eine Zusammenfassung mit den wichtigsten Gesetzen und Formeln - zahlreiche Ubungsaufgaben sowie Tabellen mit physikalischen Daten - aktuelle Themen aus Forschung und Anwendung - problemorientierte Einfuhrung der mathematischen Werkzeuge Das Lehrbuch deckt die Experimentalphysik in ihrer gesamten Breite ab: Mechanik; Schwingungen und Wellen; Thermodynamik; Elektrizitat und Magnetismus; Optik; Relativitatstheorie; Quantenmechanik und ihre Anwendungen von der Teilchen- bis zur Astrophysik. Alle Ubungsaufgaben sind im Arbeitsbuch zu diesem Lehrbuch ausfuhrlich besprochen und durchgerechnet. Informationen rund ums Buch - einschlielich aktueller Druckfehlerlisten - finden sich auf der Website www.elsevier.de/tiplermosca/. Bravo! Einfach ein Meisterwerk in jedem Sinne. " Macwelt" Tipler's Physik ist eine solide Referenz - fur den Physiklehrer ebenso wie fur interessierte Schuler in der Sekundarstufe II und den den Physikstudenten des Grundstudiums.... insgesamt uberaus gelungen " NiU-Physik " Wer das liest, muss eigentlich vom Gebiet der Physik restlos begeistert werden. " Laser und Optoelektronik " Tiplers "Physik" ist ein ausgezeichnetes, zeitgemaes, trotz seiner uber 1500 Seiten kurzweiliges Lehrbuch der Physik. Studierende und Liebhaber der Physik werden ihre Freude daran haben. " Physikalische Blatter " Der Stoffumfang [des 'Halliday'] ist dabei nahezu deckungsgleich mit Tiplers Einfuhrungskurs 'Physics', der ebenfalls in deutscher Sprache verfugbar ist, wobei ich weniger eine Konkurrenz als eine gegenseitige Erganzung in diesen beiden Buchern sehe.

Physics for Scientists and Engineers

If you want to learn physics, this is the text you should use.
The explanation of all of the concepts in this book is presented very well. Chapters are opened with some example of how the concepts in the chapter are applied in other fields of science and engineering. Then, the book proceeds to explain the concepts. The writing is concise and specific, but also very informative and interesting. Reading the text is natural, and doesn't feel like a herculean effort.
Examples in the book are worked out thoroughly and neatly, so they are easy to comprehend, as well as being illustrated with function and well above average images. In addition, the book includes sections that, while not immediately necessary to the understanding of physics, provide more detailed explanations of application or more advanced concepts, for those who are interested. The thing is, they aren't necessary to the continuity of the book.
Each chapter is ended with a page of important formulae, and a set of exercises. The exercises are particularly well organised into three categories according to difficulty, which provides new students to practice their basic understanding, intermediate students to test their understanding, and advanced students with more of a challenge.
I highly recommend this text to anyone learning physics, regardless of what primary text you use. It is a valuable resource, and will aid you greatly.
The Sixth Edition of "Physics for Scientists and Engineers "offers a completely integrated text and media solution that will help students learn most effectively and will enable professors to customize their classrooms so that they teach most efficiently. The text includes a new strategic problem-solving approach, an integrated Math Tutorial, and new tools to improve conceptual understanding. To simplify the review and use of the text, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers "is available in these versions: Volume 1 "Mechanics/Oscillations and Waves/Thermodynamics "(Chapters 1-20, R) 1-4292-0132-0Volume 2 "Electricity and Magnetism/Light "(Chapters 21-33) 1-4292-0133-9Volume 3 "Elementary Modern Physics "(Chapters 34-41) 1-4292-0134-7Standard Version (Chapters 1-33, R) 1-4292-0124-XExtended Version (Chapters 1-41, R)
