Physics for Scientists and Engineers vs "" with Modern Physics

Would anyone know if there is a difference between the two books off the top of their head?

I mean one has chapters from 1-39 and the second has 1-46. My class requires the first one but I can get the 2nd one for cheaper.

Would you think its the same exact book with an added section?

Is the one you can buy more cheaply the most recent edition? If it is, than I think the first 39 chapters are the same in both books.

yes the more recent edition. I guess I'll find out the risky way.

Thanks for your help.

The second one is more unwieldy.

I would say that there is likely a difference between the two books. While they may cover similar topics, the order and depth of the material may vary. It is important to check with your instructor to see if the second book would be an acceptable substitute for your class. Additionally, it may be worth comparing the table of contents and sample chapters from both books to see if there are any significant differences in the content or approach. Ultimately, it is important to choose the book that best aligns with your course requirements and learning style.
