Physics (Math/Science Core)

Fundamentals of Physics, 7th Edition offers a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, helping readers apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving, in an easy-to-understand style.

Head First Physics offers a format that's rich in visuals and full of activities, including pictures, illustrations, puzzles, stories, and quizzes -- a mixed-media style proven to stimulate learning and retention. One look will convince you: This isn't mere theory, this is physics brought to life through real-world scenarios, simple experiments, and hypothetical projects.

Megumi is an all-star athlete, but she's a failure when it comes to physics class. And she can't concentrate on her tennis matches when she's worried about the questions she missed on the big test! Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a physics geek who uses real-world examples to help her understand classical mechanics-and improve her tennis game in the process! In The Manga Guide to Physics, you'll follow alongside Megumi as she learns about the physics of everyday objects like roller skates, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis serves.

As well as outlining and explaining such historic breakthroughs in human understanding of the physical world as Kepler's law of planetary motion and Newtons law of gravitation, Joanne Baker unravels the sometimes baffling complexities of modern scientific theory from Planck's law to Pauli's exclusion principle and from Schrödinger's cat to string theory. The essays are accompanied by a range of useful editorial features, including biographies of iconic physicists, timelines of related ideas, explanatory diagrams and display quotations.

Physics Demystified, Second Edition helps you grasp the essential concepts with ease. Written in a step-by-step format, this practical guide begins by covering classical physics, including mass, force, motion, momentum, work, energy, and power, as well as the temperature and states of matter. Electricity, magnetism, and electronics are discussed as are waves, particles, space, and time.

Physics I For Dummies tracks specifically to an introductory course and, keeping with the traditionally easy-to-follow Dummies style, teaches you the basic principles and formulas in a clear and concise manner, proving that you don't have to be Einstein to understand physics! Explains the basic principles in a simple, clear, and entertaining fashion.

With large, colorful graphics, including maps, diagrams, and labeled illustrations and clear supporting text, Visual Learning: Physics is an invaluable resource for readers of all ages who want to learn science in an easy and engaging way.
