Introduction

Physics is what it’s all about. What what’s all about? Everything. Physics is present in every action around you. And because physics is everywhere, it gets into some tricky places, which means it can be hard to follow. Studying physics can be even worse when you’re reading some dense textbook that’s hard to follow.

For most people who come into contact with physics, textbooks that land with 1,200-page whumps on desks are their only exposure to this amazingly rich and rewarding field. And what follows are weary struggles as the readers try to scale the awesome bulwarks of the massive tomes. Has no brave soul ever wanted to write a book on physics from the reader’s point of view? Yes, and here we come with such a book.

About This Book

This book is different. Instead of writing it from the physicist’s or professor’s point of view, we wrote it from the reader’s point of view. After thousands of one-on-one tutoring sessions, we know where the usual book presentation of this stuff starts to confuse people, and we’ve taken great care to jettison the top-down kinds of explanations. You don’t survive one-on-one tutoring sessions for long unless you get to know what really makes sense to people – what they want to see from their points of view. In other words, we designed this book to be crammed full of the good stuff – and only the good stuff. You also discover unique ways of looking at problems that professors and teachers use to make figuring out the problems simple.

This book is crammed with physics examples and physics problems. It’s designed to show you how to tackle the kinds of problems you may encounter in physics classes.

In this book, you can find solutions to problems similar to the ones you’re asked to solve elsewhere. And when you see how it’s done, solving similar problems should be a breeze.

From time to time, we include sidebars to provide a little more insight into what’s going on with a particular topic. They give you a little more of the story, such as how some famous physicist did what he did or an unexpected real-life application of the point under discussion. You can skip these sidebars, if you like, without missing any essential physics.

Some books have a dozen conventions that you need to know before you can start. Not this one. All you need to know is that variables and new terms appear in italics, like
