An easy-to-follow guide to introductory physics, from the Big Bang to
relativity
All science, technology, engineering, and math majors in college and
university require some familiarity with physics. Other career paths,
like medicine, are also only open to students who understand this
fundamental science. But don't worry if you find physics to be
intimidating or confusing. You just need the right guide!
In Physics I For Dummies, you'll find a roadmap to physics success
that walks you through every major topic in introductory physics,
including motion, energy, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetism,
relativity, and more. You'll learn the basic principles and math
formulas of physics through clear and straightforward examples and
instruction, and without unnecessary jargon or complicated theory.
In this book, you'll also find:
- Up-to-date examples and explanations appearing alongside the latest
discoveries and research in physics, discussed at a level appropriate
for beginning students
- All the info found in an intro physics course, arranged in an
intuitive sequence that will give first-year students a head start in
their high school or college physics class
- The latest teaching techniques to ensure that you remember and retain
what you read and practice in the book
Physics I For Dummies is proof that physics can fun, accessible,
challenging, and rewarding, all at the same time! Whether you're a high
school or undergraduate student looking for a leg-up on basic physics
concepts or you're just interested in how our universe works, this book
will help you understand the thermodynamic, electromagnetic,
relativistic, and everything in between.
