Description
Physics by Resnick, Halliday and Krane, fifth edition, Volume 1, is a classic textbook that has over the past five decades, provided the standard for calculus-based university physics course for science and engineering students. The text strives to clarify conceptual development in light of recent findings of physics education research, without compromising on the level and the rigor of its content. This Indian adaptation of the fifth edition of Physics Volume 1 builds in the conceptual strength and subject treatment of the original to provide the best-suited text for Indian students.
