PHYS 2425 University Physics I : Ebooks and Database Resources

Uncover the physics all around us, from basic concepts like gravity, light, and energy to the complexities of quantum theory, chaos, and dark energy.

This little book concentrates on the foundations of modern physics (its 'ABC's') and its most fundamental constants. In order to achieve maximal concentration and clarity, it uses the simplest (high school) mathematics.

This unique visual approach allows students to appreciate the conceptual underpinnings of each law before moving on to qualitative descriptions of motion and, finally, to the equations and their solutions.

Provides a concise overview of the core undergraduate physics and applied mathematics curriculum for students and practitioners of science and engineering

Develops the basic principles and laws of fundamental physics.

Heat and Thermodynamics covers basic ideas of heat and thermodynamics, kinetic theory and transport phenomena, real gases, liquefaction and production and measurement of very low temperatures, The First Law of Thermodynamics, The Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics and Heat Engines and Black Body Radiation.

Provides clear and concise definitions for every area of physics--from optics and acoustics to mechanics and electronics, via quantum theory and relativity.

For students who just need to know the vital concepts of physics, whether as a refresher, for exam prep, or as a reference, Physics Essentials For Dummies is a must-have guide. Physics Essentials For Dummies contains key topics only. It provides discrete explanations of critical concepts taught in an introductory physics course, from force and motion to momentum and kinetics.

This new book aims to guide both the experimentalist and theoretician through their compulsory laboratory courses forming part of an undergraduate physics degree. The rationale behind this book is to show students and interested readers the value and beauty within a carefully planned and executed experiment, and to help them to develop the skills to carry out experiments themselves.

Reference chart

Today's physics textbooks have become encyclopedic, offering students dry discussions, rote formulas, and exercises with little relation to the real world. Physics: The First Science takes a different approach by offering uniquely accessible, student-friendly explanations, historical and philosophical perspectives, and mathematics in easy-to-comprehend dialogue.
