“Beautifully clear explanations of famously ‘difficult’ things.” ―Wall Street Journal 

If you ever regretted not taking physics in college – or simply want to know how to think like a physicist – this is the book for you. In this bestselling introduction to classical mechanics, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Challenging, lucid, and concise, The Theoretical Minimum provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.
