Learn physics at your own pace without an instructor
Basic Physics: A Self-Teaching Guide, 3rd Edition is the most practical and reader-friendly guide to understanding all basic physics concepts and terms. The expert authors take a flexible and interactive approach to physics based on new research-based methods about how people most effectively comprehend new material. The book takes complex concepts and breaks them down into practical, easy to digest terms.
Subject matter covered includes:
- Newton's Laws
- Energy
- Electricity
- Magnetism
- Light
- Sound
- And more
There are also sections explaining the math behind each concept for those who would like further explanation and understanding. Each chapter features a list of objectives so that students know what they should be learning from each chapter, test questions, and exercises that inspire deeper learning about physics.
High school students, college students, and those re-learning physics alike will greatly enhance their physics education with the help of this one-of-a-kind guide.
