Physics for Engineers and Scientists
Hans C. Ohanian received his  B.S. from the                  University of    California,                         Berkeley,                   and his Ph.D. from                                  Princeton  University, where he worked with                                 John A. Wheeler.  He                    has taught at        Rensselaer    Polytechnic   Institute, Union College, and the                                    University of  Vermont. He is                    the author of   several textbooks spanning all                undergraduate  levels:  Physics, Principles of Physics,                Relativity: A Modern Introduction, Modern           Physics,  Principles of                     Quantum                 Mechanics,                                       Classical  Electrodynamics, and, with  Remo                                  Ruffini,                  Gravitation and                                 Spacetime.  He                  is also the                author of dozens of articles                dealing    with                       gravitation,  relativity, and quantum            theory,                including many                   articles                   on  fundamental                        physics   published in the American Journal of  Physics,               where he served as  associate                      editor for some                                  years. He                                 lives in Vermont.John T. Markert received his B.A. in Physics and                 Mathematics from Bowdoin College  (1979) and his                  M.S. (1984) and  Ph.D. (1987) in Physics from Cornell University, where he was recipient of                the Clark Award for Excellence in  Teaching.                      After  postdoctoral research at the University of          California, San Diego, he joined the  faculty at                   the University of  Texas, Austin, in 1990, where  he has received the College of Natural Sciences                 Teaching Excellence Award and is  currently Chair                of the Department and Professor of Physics. His  introductory physics teaching methods emphasize                 context-based approaches,  interactive  techniques, and peer instruction. He is author                 or coauthor of over 120 journal  articles,                        including many  on experimental condensed matter  physics research in superconductivity,                 magnetism, and nanoscience. He  lives in Austin,                  Texas, with  his wife and children.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
