Paul A. Tipler promovierte über die Struktur von Atomkernen an der University of Illinois, erste Lehrerfahrungen an der Wesleyan University of Connecticut, anschließend Physikprofessor an der Oakland University mit maßgeblicher Beteiligung an der Entwicklung des Lehrplans für das Physikstudium. Der Autor - inzwischen Emeritus - lebt in Berkeley/California.Gene Mosca hat über viele Jahre Physikkurse an amerikanischen Universitäten gegeben, darunter Emporia State/University of South Dakota and Annapolis sowie Web-Kurse entwickelt. Als Koautor für die dritte und vierte englische Ausgabe auch Mitgestaltung der Studentenmaterialien.

The Sixth Edition offers a completely integrated text and media solution that will enable students to learn more effectively and professors to teach more efficiently. The text includes a new strategic problem-solving approach, an integrated Maths Tutorial, and new tools to improve conceptual understanding. It is available in three volumes.

CLARITY OF PRESENTATION* Unique sidebyside worked examples break out the conceptual explanation into the left column, with corresponding equations on the right, making it easier for students to see a problem unfold. (See p.178)FOCUS ON CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING& INDEPENDENT THINKING* Enhanced conceptual understanding: crucial to students reaching a complete knowledge is the understanding of concepts, not simply equations and numbers. Tipler achieves a greater conceptual understanding through the combination of Concept Checks, Conceptual Examples, Pitfall Statements, and Conceptual EndofChapter Problems throughout the book.* ContextRich Examples are designed to reflect the way scientists and engineers solve problems in the real world. These may include information not needed to solve the problem, or may require students to find additional information in tables, or draw on their own experiences or previously obtained information. (See p.214 and 21* 'Try It Yourself' selfcheck examples appear periodically throughout each chapter. These use the same sidebyside format, but the descriptions are less detailed. If students cannot complete the solution on their own, they know that they need to review the previous group of worked examples before proceeding. Each chapter features at least one interactive Worked Example, which students can try on the Web. (See p. 18* Flexibility in EndofChapter Problems: a variety of clearly marked question types, such as engineering problems, biological problems, estimation problems, conceptual problems, spreadsheet problems, multistep, and contextrich problems. Also offers a variety of question levels, such as: Single concept/singlestep/relatively easy Intermediatelevel/may require synthesis of concepts ChallengingDIRECTED STUDY FEATURES* ChapterOpening questions (in the caption for the opening photo) - students are directed to a worked example within the chapter that answers the question. * Chapter Outlines: a listing of chapter Aheads showing the students what is to come.* Highlighted chapter goal statement identifying the main thrust of the chapter in the opening paragraph.GREAT PHOTO AND ART PROGRAMPhotos bring to life the many applications of physics to the real world. Examples: racing cars p.127& Karate blow shattering a concrete block p. 257. Clear and lifelike lineart.
