Now it's relatively EASY to learn ADVANCED PHYSICS

Interested in excelling in physics but don't have infinite time or the IQ of Einstein? No problem Advanced Physics Demystified helps you understand this complex subject matter without expending a lot of energy.

You'll start by learning about linear motion and plane trajectories and then move on to circular and harmonic motion. Next, you'll study thermodynamics, electrical impedance and admittance, and alternating-current circuit analysis. Gravitation, nuclear physics, and radiant energy are also covered. Filled with helpful illustrations and examples and featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will teach you the essentials of advanced physics in no time at all.

This fast and easy guide offers:

Numerous figures to illustrate key conceptsSample problems with worked solutionsA quick way to prepare for physics questions on college entrance examsCoverage of Kepler's Laws, Newton's Law, and Ohm's Law for AC circuitsA time-saving approach to performing better on an exam or at work

Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Advanced Physics Demystified takes the resistance out of learning this fascinating subject.

Customer Reviews

The title is a bit misleading

This book specifically covers most of what you would learn in a two semester college freshman level engineering physics sequence, with a little modern physics and even some astronomy thrown in. There are plenty of examples and explanations, and if you buy it you'll get your money's worth if freshman physics is what you wish to review or study. However, I think Schaum's Outline of College Physics, 10th edition (Schaum's Outlines) is a better bet. It is more thorough in its coverage, and there are more problems but not quite as much explanation. For example, I don't think that this book gives nearly enough coverage of mechanics, fluids, and in particular optics, that it is really complete. Schaum's covers these subjects extensively, mainly through problems sets rather than prose, though. If you are just learning physics, get both books. If it is a review or reference you need, go strictly with Schaum's.

Trying to review college physics

It's a decent book. It's not to basic, but it does skip over anything thta requires advanced calculus. If you do the quizzes and try not to memorize answers, but actually work the problems, you should be able to retain and understand the information.
