Textbook
Physics for Scientists and Engineers,
with Modern Physics, 2nd Edition. Randall D.
Knight.
(This can be the 5-volume paperback set or the full hardback, but should
include an access code either way. As a used text you generally must obtain the
access code from the publisher—Addison-Wesley). As of fall 2008, the 2nd
edition is new and therefore there will be no used texts actually available
yet.
