Full Description
A complicated subject made simple This fascinating resource takes all the basic concepts of an introductory physics course taught in high school or college and-using plain language, hundreds of illustrations, and colorful, interesting examples-brings them vividly to life. It is designed to enable readers to explore the subject matter in short steps, building gradually from one principle to another at their own pace. Complete and self-contained, Basic Physics is the perfect aid for anyone needing help in introductory physics, as well as a refresher for students taking higher-level classes and adults requiring a brush-up before returning to school. * A fully revised edition of the book that sold close to 50,000 copies * Math included in optional sections, allowing a choice of either a mathematical or non-mathematical approach KARL KUHN, PhD, (Richmond Kentucky) is Professor of Physics at Eastern Kentucky University.
