An essential guide to understanding tensors through physics. Understanding tensors is essential for physics students who encounter phenomena where direction matters. A jet stream rushing overhead can trigger vertical convection that leads to thunderstorms. An unbalanced car wheel spinning around a horizontal axis produces a wobble in the vertical ......
College Physics, Part 1 is the first volume in a two-textbook series tailored to aid learners studying non-calculus-based physics. Beginning with an emphasis on understanding physics problems and the application of the scientific method, the book solidifies foundational concepts with an introductory module. This includes discussion of physical ......
Physics not only shapes the cosmos but every aspect of our lives. Physics Around the Clock is an illuminating and fun journey through the physics of everyday life. From the thermodynamics of cooking the perfect pizza, or what 'plate' mechanics says about how to cut your fingernails, to the optimal way to board an airplane, this lively book ......

Mechanics of Electricity, Magnetism, Optics, and Beyond
This textbook delves into the intricate dynamics governing macro- and micro-planetary systems, focusing on the interplay between gravitational and electromagnetic forces in the context of quantized planetary motion. It extends into advanced scientific concepts such as relativity, enriching the reader's grasp of the fundamental forces of nature and ......
A Contemporary Compendium of Modern Physics equips physics, astronomy, and astrophysics students with the essential knowledge they need to achieve success within their respective majors. The text is specifically written for upper-division students, but also well prepares readers from lower-division classes for more advanced elective courses and ......
Lectures in Physics, Volume I: Classical Mechanics in Substance Applications comprises seven modules spread across three parts, structured as an invitation to a discussion on various science topics. The opening part, called a prelude, is dedicated to a thorough description of basic mathematics required in this course such as scalars, geometry, ......
Essential quick reference for a physical science class covering physics and chemistry which would generally be high school level or if combined with our Physical Science 2 guide, together would cover a college level Physical Science course. Expertly and succinctly written by author, STEM curriculum developer and professor Jane Parks Gardner, MSc, ......
A Structured Approach for Scientists and Engineers
Physics Problem-Solving Techniques for Understanding and Success in First Year Mechanics: A Structured Approach for Scientists and Engineers addresses a topic generally skipped in first-year textbooks: how conceptual understanding of the laws of physics are applied to problem-solving in a systematic way, as experts do. The book was written to ......
