Physics for Dummies

by Steven Holzner

Book Overview

Does just thinking about the laws of motion make your head spin? Does studying electricity short your circuits? Do the complexities of thermodynamics cool your enthusiasm? Thanks to this book, you don't have to be Einstein to understand physics. As you read about Newton's Laws, Kepler's Laws, Hooke's Law, Ohm's Law, and others, you'll appreciate the For Dummies law: The easier we make it, the faster people understand it and the more they enjoy it...

I Love Physics - Great Help for kids

Added to Library with other books to help communicate ideas and thoughts to kids. Variety in communicating is a great way to see other angles to help kids figure out how things work. I Love Physics - Great Help for kids

Thank God

I took physics for the first time last semester and had an aweful textbook. This book really helped me. It doesn't get fancy with deriving equations and junk like that. The best thing about this book is that is is CLEAR and TO THE POINT.

Great

I have already received a degree in physics, but am always looking at texts for further understanding and alternate perspectives. This book is good for either a beginner or someone looking strengthen their grasp of physics.

it will help you

This is a very neat and clear guide. It explains almost everything. It shows you the steps clearly, it repeats equations that were written before every time that it is needed. It doesn't jump quickly into something new. It writes why to use these equations. Everything suddenly makes sense. What is missing from this book is practice. It would be nice to have something to solve for yourself and then check in the back if the solution is correct. However it gives good examples.

Don't Miss What This Book Offers!

This book has been a great help to me in providing me with the general physics knowledge I need for my non-physics profession. It also refreshed my knowledge of important discoveries in physics history and the math behind physics. A clear, fast and enjoyable immersion into the laws of the universe! I recommend it very highly to students and readers at many levels.
