    About this ebook

    Understand the rules that make the universe run.



    Understanding the laws of physics is essential for all scientific studies, but many students are intimidated by their complexities. This completely revised and updated book makes it easy to understand the most important principles. From the physics of the everyday world to the theory of relativity, PHYSICS MADE SIMPLE covers it all.

    Each chapter is introduced by anecdotes that directly apply the concepts to contemporary life and ends with practice problems—with complete solutions—to reinforce the concepts. Humorous illustrations and stories complete the text, making it not only easy but fun to learn this important science.


    Topics covered include:
    *force
    *motion
    *energy
    *waves
    *electricity and magnetism
    *the atom
    *quantum physics
    *relativity
    *spectroscopy
    *particle physics
