People are used to seeing "fake physics" in science fiction - concepts like faster-than-light travel, antigravity and time travel to name a few. The fiction label ought to be a giveaway, but some SF writers - especially those with a background in professional science - are so ad…
Volume 1 : This book is written for students and other interested readers as a look inside the diverse range of applications for physics outside of the scientific research environment. This first volume covers several different areas of the arts and design ranging from stage lig…
When you hear about the latest physics breakthroughs on the news, or attend university or college physics courses, it can be easy to think of physics as just an academic subject. But physics does much more than describe how matter and energy behave. It reveals how almost everyth…
"Modern physics in its attempt to unify the fundamental forces of nature has developed theories that require the existence of up to eleven dimensions and the feasibility of entire universes existing side by side with our own. The implication of these and other ideas in leading u…
[This text] 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 admit…
"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…
An easy-to-follow introduction to advanced physics that covers key topics, concepts and applications and uses simple explanations to help students grasp the field's foundations.
To understand black holes, you need to understand general relativity, which means you need to understand tensor calculus, which means you need to understand vector calculus, not to mention the basics of algebra and geometry. So you spend years learning maths, or you skip to the …
Unravel the secrets of the universe and untangle cutting-edge physics. Yes, you actually can understand quantum physics! String Theory For Dummies is a beginner's guide, and we make it fun to find out about the all the recent trends and theories in physics, including the basics …
"Using a bold, graphics-led approach, [this book] sets out more than 80 of the key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject [of physics] and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus ... on unpacking the thought behind each theory--as we…
"Los pensamientos y las obras de grandes pensadores siempre constituyen historias sensacionales, y aquí tenemos cien de ellas juntas. Cada una se relaciona con un hecho significativo, un problema importante que se convirtió en un descubrimiento y que cambió la forma en que enten…
Presents a history of physics from the dawn of science to the present through coverage of one hundred scientific breakthroughs in the discipline, including force and inertia, hidden heat, the Doppler effect, cloud chambers, and string theory.
