About the Author

Raymond A. Serway is Professor Emeritus at James Madison University. He earned his doctorate at Illinois Institute of Technology. Among his accolades, he received an honorary doctorate degree from his alma mater, Utica College, the 1990 Madison Scholar Award at James Madison University (where he taught for 17 years), the 1977 Distinguished Teaching Award at Clarkson University and the 1985 Alumni Achievement Award from Utica College. As a Guest Scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, Dr. Serway worked with K. Alex M�ller, who shared the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics. He also was a visiting scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, where he collaborated with his mentor and friend, the late Sam Marshall. In addition to this text, Dr. Serway is the co-author of COLLEGE PHYSICS, Eleventh Edition; PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, Fifth Edition; ESSENTIALS OF COLLEGE PHYSICS; MODERN PHYSICS, Third Edition; and the high school textbook PHYSICS, published by Holt McDougal. He has published more than 40 research papers in the field of condensed matter physics and has given more than 60 presentations at professional meetings.

John W. Jewett Jr. is Emeritus Professor of Physics at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. He earned his undergraduate degree in physics at Drexel University and his doctorate at The Ohio State University, specializing in optical and magnetic properties of condensed matter. Dr. Jewett began his academic career at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, where he taught from 1974 to 1984. Active in promoting effective physics education, he has received four National Science Foundation grants in physics education, and he helped found and direct the Southern California Area Modern Physics Institute (SCAMPI) and Science IMPACT (Institute for Modern Pedagogy and Creative Teaching). Dr. Jewett's honors include the Stockton Merit Award at Richard Stockton College in 1980, selection as Outstanding Professor at California State Polytechnic University for 1991-1992 and the Excellence in Undergraduate Physics Teaching Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) in 1998. In 2010, he received an Alumni Lifetime Achievement Award from Drexel University in recognition of his contributions in physics education. He has given over 100 presentations both domestically and abroad, including multiple presentations at national meetings of the AAPT. Dr. Jewett is the author of THE WORLD OF PHYSICS: MYSTERIES, MAGIC, AND MYTH, which provides many connections between physics and everyday experiences. In addition to this text, he is co-author of PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, Fifth Edition, and GLOBAL ISSUES, a four-volume set of instruction manuals in integrated science for high school. Dr. Jewett enjoys playing keyboard with his all-physicist band, traveling and collecting antique quack medical devices. Most importantly, he relishes spending time with his wife, Lisa, and their children and grandchildren.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2013
This is a great book. It helped me allot in calculus 1,2, and I am currently using it right now in calc 3. The thing that I found interesting is that I took calculus based physics 1 and allot of the calc 3 lessons on vectors are in my physics book, but this calc book explained it better and therefore this book helped me in two classes. Overall I recommend this book.

I got the book on the cheap and it came in a few days. It said it was in 'good' condition, but I would say it is was in nearly perfect condition when I got it.

Good content. Poor explanatory text.
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2011
This book doesn't even deserve one star! If I could rate it, you would have to go down to the planck length scale to see the fraction of the star that I would rate this book.

When you try to apply the content in the book to the problems in the book and the problems on the online learning system, you realize how pathetic the book is at preparing you to work the problems.

Q: What's worse?
A: When you professor doesn't even follow the book, burns an entire hour of lecture deriving equations on the
board without working any examples, and is so lazy that they assign an online homework system instead of
written homework.

This isn't a book for students.

This book is for sadistic show off professors and egotistical scientists that take pleasure in telling students how much they don't know instead of relating the material in the book to the problems in the book.

The authors have terrible skills at relating the material to the audience (college students). All the formulas are presented in derivations and proofs which is completely ridiculous as problems are deductions from generalizations. Sure, its necessary to have a formula, but there is not enough applications within the in chapter text to apply those formulas to the varieties of problems you are faced in the online homework system.

TERRIBLE!!!!!

Everything went very smooth and I received merchandise when I was told
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2011
Soooo... when I ordered this book it was listed as "new" and for a great price so I went ahead and ordered it. Upon receipt I found that the corners of the front and back cover were damaged/dog-earred as if the book had been lightly used. I wouldn't have minded this is the book was listed as "good" or "used" but it was listed as new. My main purpose in ordering a NEW book was to get the WebAssign subscription that comes with a new book so that I wouldn't have to pay for it separately. My book did NOT have the subscription so I ended up falling behind on homework assignments because I didn't have the money budgeted aside to pay for WebAssign separately. Had I bought a new book from the bookstore at my school it would have been in better condition and the subscription would have come with it.
I am truly upset with the order but at least I have a book to study from. As for the homework assignments, I am now doing every little bit o extra credit that I can to make up for it.

Great idea for large books. I wish my calculus book came in volumes. I higly recommend this type of book, it is a nice compromise between the hardcover and the loose leaf hole punched options.

Book was received in exceptional condition, minus the original wrappings, it looked as though it had never even been opened. Shipping was fast and I would purchase from the seller again.
