  • Newtonian Mechanics For Undergraduates

    by Vijay Tymms ...
    Series series Essential Textbooks In Physics
    Newtonian mechanics is a cornerstone topic in physics. Regardless of the path an aspiring physicist takes, an intimate and intuitive understanding of how objects behave within Newton's law of motion is essential.Yet the transition from high school physics to university level physics can be — and should be — difficult. The aim of this book is to teach Newtonian mechanics suitable for the first two ... Read more

  • Science and the City

    The Mechanics Behind the Metropolis

    by Laurie Winkless ...
    Cities are a big deal. More people now live in them than don't, and with a growing world population, the urban jungle is only going to get busier in the coming decades. But how often do we stop to think about what makes our cities work?Cities are built using some of the most creative and revolutionary science and engineering ideas – from steel structures that scrape the sky to glass cables that ...

  • Death to Einstein! 2: Exposing the Fatal Flaws of Both Special and General Relativity

    by Scott Reeves ...
    In the grand tradition of the previous volume of this devastating series, further arguments against the validity of special relativity are presented, this time by demolishing the experimental "evidence" of the long-lived muons. Also, an experimental method to disprove the relativity of simultaneity is presented.Unlike the previous volume, this one also brings death and mayhem to general relativity ... Read more

  • The Geometry of Special Relativity - a Concise Course

    by Norbert Dragon ...
    Series series SpringerBriefs in Physics
    In this concise primer it is shown that, with simple diagrams, the phenomena of time dilatation, length contraction and Lorentz transformations can be deduced from the fact that in a vacuum one cannot distinguish physically straight and uniform motion from rest, and that the speed of light does not depend on the speed of either the source or the observer. The text proceeds to derive the important ... Read more

  • A Student's Guide to Einstein's Major Papers

    by Robert E Kennedy ...
    Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of relativity and quantum mechanics. The dominant figure in this revolutionary change was Albert Einstein. In a single year, 1905, Einstein produced breakthrough works in three areas of physics: on the size and ... Read more

  • Head First Physics

    A learner's companion to mechanics and practical physics (AP Physics B - Advanced Placement)

    by Heather Lang ...
    Wouldn't it be great if there were a physics book that showed you how things work instead of telling you how? Finally, with Head First Physics, there is. This comprehensive book takes the stress out of learning mechanics and practical physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who "just don't get it."Head First Physics offers a format that's rich in visuals and ...

  • Variational Approach to Gravity Field Theories

    From Newton to Einstein and Beyond

    by Alberto Vecchiato ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers a detailed and stimulating account of the Lagrangian, or variational, approach to general relativity and beyond. The approach more usually adopted when describing general relativity is to introduce the required concepts of differential geometry and derive the field and geodesic equations from purely geometrical properties. Demonstration of the physical meaning then requires the ... Read more
