Synopsis

College and university physics textbooks are huge and densely packed with equations and information. Keeping pace has been likened to “drinking water from a fire hose.” Faced with this excess, students usually rely on lectures to guide them through the simple fundamentals of the subject and standard model problems. Physics Lectures derives from highly successful lecture notes and this book retains their format and flavor. The result is the antithesis of encyclopedic texts that are written to appease specialists and enrich publishers. Some features of Physics Lectures: • Presents essential theory and problems quickly and concisely. • Assumes no prior knowledge of physics • Respects the reader’s time by focusing on need-to-know issues • Is a fraction of the cost of standard physics textbooks.
