The manual, prepared by David Mills, professor emeritus at the College of the Redwoods in California, provides solutions for selected odd-numbered end-of-chapter problems in the textbook and uses the same side-by-side format and level of detail as the Examples in the text.

The study guide provides students with key physical quantities and equations, misconceptions to avoid, questions and practice problems to gain further understanding of physics concepts, and quizzes to test student knowledge of chapters. All written with the same level of detail as the examples found in the text.

For Chapters 1-22, this manual contains detailed solutions to approximately 20% of the problems per chapter (indicated in the textbook with boxed problem numbers). The manual also features a skills section, important notes from key sections of the text, and a list of important equations and concepts. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Updated and improved, this revised edition of Michel Barsoum's classic text Fundamentals of Ceramics presents readers with an exceptionally clear and comprehensive introduction to ceramic science. Barsoum offers introductory coverage of ceramics, their structures, and properties, with a distinct emphasis on solid state physics and chemistry. Key equations are derived from first principles to ensure a thorough understanding of the concepts involved. The book divides naturally into two parts. Chapters 1 to 9 consider bonding in ceramics and their resultant physical structures, and the electrical, thermal, and other properties that are dependent on bonding type. The second part (Chapters 11 to 16) deals with those factors that are determined by microstructure, such as fracture and fatigue, and thermal, dielectric, magnetic, and optical properties. Linking the two sections is Chapter 10, which describes sintering, grain growth, and the development of microstructure. Fundamentals of Ceramics is ideally suited to senior undergraduate and graduate students of materials science and engineering and related subjects.

Building upon Serway and Jewetta s solid foundation in the modern classic text, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, this first Asia-Pacific edition of Physics is a practical and engaging introduction to Physics. Using international and local case studies and worked examples to add to the concise language and high quality artwork, this new regional edition further engages students and highlights the relevance of this discipline to their learning and lives.
